 “So we want to call on the president to stand strong on this matter. This 4% that they are given to the public sector people is too much they should be given 0% . If the President feels the public sector people need 4% then they should put 4% on every bodies momo account so that the Ghanaian people can also benefit directly from this”.

He maintained government spent nearly 70% of it resources on the sector leaving little for the rest of the citizens and deem it fit, the ordinary Ghanaian also benefits from the 4% if indeed the workers needs it.
