Akuffo-Addo tells Prez.
Mills, Leadership is beyond talking
Audrey Agyiri-Inkoom
The
flag bearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP)
Nana Akufo-Addo has dared President Mills to show
leadership beyond merely asking the striking doctors to
return to their post.
He
reiterated the President’s comments as unfortunate,
adding that, “The president who has been in office for
nearly three years under whose government the migration
of other sectors of public servants onto the Single
Spine Salary Structure had taken place.”
Public sector doctors have
been striking over the last five days to be migrated
onto the Single Spine Salary Structure and have refused
numerous calls to cancel their decision.
Speaking to the Press in
Accra, Nana Akuffo-Addo said, “We should have heard
about this from the very beginning that no money has
been left, and therefore public sector workers would
have to wait for a while to effect the migration.
“In the midst of the exercise
suddenly we’re told three years down the line that the
NPP didn’t leave any money”.
He added that, “You are merely
at the end of your mandate and you continue to blame the
NPP. It was not the NPP government that gave the
promises to the health workers that in the course of
this year they will be migrating.”
The presidential hopeful of the
NPP appealed to the agitating doctors to return to their
post and asked President Mills to instantaneously order
Hon. Joseph Yieleh-Chere, Minister for Health to at once
engage the leadership of the doctors to bring the strike
to an end.
“I’m appealing to them that no
matter the justness of their case there are so many fine
people of that profession with very responsible attitude
to getting to work”.
