Political Scientist at the Spiritan University; Dr Kofi Owusu Yeboah has found out that less than one percent of Ghanaians are reasonable.
That according to him puts the figure of “reasonable” people at less than 5000 people.
He believes if only 1% of Ghanaians ; approximately 270000 people were reasonable, the country would run very effectively.
He was expressing his amazement at how workers needed to strike for several months just to get their salaries among other issues affecting the Ghanaian worker.
He lamented the situation where workers are not given any allowances whiles spending their salaries on various errands concerning their offices.
To him this triggers such workers to find foul means of earning extra at their work places; a situation that doesn’t help the corruption situation within the public sector.
He however said ‘‘if people are promoted on the bases of their performance, workers at institutions such as the controller and accountant general’s department will not demand money from someone who deserves to be paid for their services rendered’’.
He however noted that due to the fear of loosing power, politicians refuse to remove such corrupt people from their positions at the various institutions.
