‘Prez’ Akpalooi will fire lazy gov’t workers

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo, has caused a stir by stating that all lazy government workers will lose their jobs when he becomes president.

According to him, the general lackadaisical attitude of some public servants in the country has been one of the major stumbling blocks that is preventing the country from developing effectively.

In this regard, Akpaloo, who sounded very confident of emerging as winner in the presidential elections, has stated that his administration would get rid of all lazy workers from the state institutions.

“As president of Ghana, which will definitely come to pass during the December 7 elections, I will fire all lazy workers, whose lackadaisical attitudes to work is drawing the country backwards”, he said.

According to him, the incoming LPG government is more than determined to work to accelerate national transformation and so nobody would be allowed to draw the country backwards.

Akpaloo said the current practice whereby the country remains standstill after 5pm is also not a good practice therefore his administration would make ensure such a system is abolished forever.

“The economy should be working 24 hours every day in order to help defeat poverty and hardship, therefore even after 5pm people should be working to help accelerate national growth”, he said.

According to the LPG leader, factories should be constructed across all the 16 regions in the country so that people could still work even after 5pm, urging the people to vote massively for the LPG.

Akpaloo, who has a background in economics, also promised that as president he would make sure that Ghanaian children under 18 years would be paid a monthly allowance of GHC200 to support their upkeep.

He also said all the bad road networks in the country would be fixed by his government in their first term of just four years, adding that affordable housing project would be constructed to house the people.
