Domelevo 'fires' back on first day of leave
General News of Friday, 3 July 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comDomelevo 'fires' back on first day of leaveDaniel Domelevo began his leave as directed todayAuditor General, Daniel Yaw Domelevo has broken his silence following a directive by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to proceed on leave. The law, he said, also guarantees the right to annual leave for the employee and not the employer’s benefit. Moreso, he believes the decision was not taken in good faith because several appointees of the President, have not, since the year 2017, taken their annual leave to date. “To the best of my knowledge therefore, where in any given year, a worker fails, omits, neglects or even refuses to take their annual leave, such leave is deemed forfeited with no corresponding obligation on the part of the employer to enforce the worker’s right to take their leave by assuming, deeming or declaring the forfeited leave, accumulated,” he said. Adding,“The office must have been aware also that several appointees of the President, have not, since the year 2017 taken their annual leave to date.

Growth rate not reflecting in jobs - Prof. Baah-Boateng
He also indicated that the inadequate data on unemployment rate makes it difficult to measure jobs created by government. There is a definition of what is unemployment rate, but in Ghana, there is a misconception about unemployment rate,” he said. Prof. Baah-Boateng further explained that workers are required to receive decent remunerations as well as pension contributions. Citing the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) as an example, Prof. Baah-Boateng said “If you do an analysis and break NABCO down, it will be difficult to even categorize it. If you talk about a decent job you expect to have social protection as part of it,” he noted.

Our Supreme Court joined NPP government and EC to sign our death warrant
President Nana Addo and NPP should take a cue from Burundi where the President and some senior government officials all suddenly died by contracting Covid-19. We don't want Ghana to be like Ecuador where due to mass Covid-19 deaths the country has run out of space even for burial. Let us act to stop Nana Addo before he sacrifices all of us to Covid-19. It is not too late to abandon the needless ongoing mass voter registration exercise due to the spread of Covid-19. We have the power as citizens to compel Nana Addo and NPP to suspend the voter registration exercise.

The man whose extra-time goal sent the nation to the quarters is the same man whose miss ensured that Africa got so close yet so far from a World Cup semi-final. A decade on from that painful night and the pain is still fresh. Gyan is still bearing the brunt and Suarez remains a hated figure in the country.
