Unemployed Nurses, Midwives soon to be employed

President Akufo-Addo says “Ghana needs all its trained manpower to be at work”. 

He has therefore assured unemployed nurses and midwives that they will soon be employed by the government.
 
President Akufo-Addo acknowledged that he is aware of the recent sit-ins at the Ministry of Health by a group of nurses and midwives who are yet to be placed, years after completing their training. 
 
In his May Day speech, the President indicated that the government is determined and together sustainable solutions will be found. 
 
He noted that in the run-up to the 2016 elections, “the subject of nurses and teachers featured a lot in the recent elections.

There was the vexed question of their allowances.
 
The government promised to restore them and it has.”
 
Touching on the issue of corruption, President Akufo-Addo reiterated his government’s commitment to using all available tools to fight the canker.
 
To this end, he stressed, that “the Office of Special Prosecutor is going to be established so that the prosecution of corruption is taken out of political controversy, and thereby enhancing the integrity of the rule of law.”

He said Ghana must turn over a new leaf under his tenure of office, he urged Ghanaians to turn over a new leaf and a new page in the history of the nation.

The founders of Ghana, he noted, chose the Black Star as part of the national colours because “they envisaged Ghanaians as a shining example to black peoples of the world of what a free, dedicated, enterprising Ghanaian people can do to build a society, anywhere on the face of the planet.
