In pouring out their anger, some teachers have asked if they are the only people working for the government.
Don’t “Bully” teachers’ salaries and don’t touch it is the response to this call, government and the purported source from teachers.
In the said publication, the controversial private Ghanaian legal practitioner, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw is said to have made the suggestion on Wuntumi TV and Radio Channels during a one on one live interview.
He, according to the report holds the view that if the government takes this action, it will help raise some funds towards the COVID-19 fight.
According to the report, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw said Ghana would go through or experience financial and food crises this year hence extra care must be taken.
Per the publication by cedinews.com He condemned the idea of such workers for thinking they were sent home by the government and are entitled to the usual working conditions. He quizzed; who wish to have this unfortunate era? Business people are asked to lockdown. How can they fund their homes and families?

The 2018 batch of teacher trainees has received a lot from the eyes of this government, at first it was NTC after which NSS and currently Covid -19 which have delayed our payment of salaries. I want to ask, for how long will this government and it’s leaders will continue to inflict pain in us. God is watching them, they should take their salaries to feed themselves and their families in this critical situation and allow us to suffer.
It’s only in this selfish country that such things can happen, why not the MPs who receive a lump sum of salary and even use some of this money to buy luxurious cars and others for their so called girl friends (side chicks).
In fact, we all must be careful in the treatment of teachers.
I don’t know now Maurice Apaw is the advisor of the President. Advice him not to even pay the salaries at all. 3tua wo yonkohoa 3tua duamu.
