Go on strike. Close the schools and go home. Are you the only working Ghanaians? We are getting fed up with these things. You have been paid all that is due you, now you are going back to a debt which is several years old, and instead of working whilst the government finds ways to pay you, you are quickly declaring a strike. Go, ungrateful people
