The Daily Graphic pleads with all parties involved in the ongoing salary negotiations to be frank, open and dispassionate in their discussions. It says the outcome of the negotiations should be a win-win situation not one in which one party will feel cheated. According to the Graphic, as organized labour and representatives of the government and the Fair Wages Commission meet this week to resume salary negotiations, everything should be done to avoid an inconclusive outcome. The paper says the parties should also demonstrate commitment to the process of salary negotiations, open-door discussions and seriousness on their part in order to guarantee industrial harmony in the country.
The Ghanaian Times calls on government to be firm in her decision to demolish all structures that are built in waterways to avoid the continues occurrence of disaster during rainy season. The paper says it understands the demolition however, the majority of Ghanaians cannot continue to mourn during every rainy season. Government must therefore promote all projects that is needed to ensure that Ghanaians are saved and protected during rainy seasons.
The Chronicle recalls a report by a private Radio station in Accra that Ghana Water Company is finalizing a contractual deal with the Republic of Togo to supply them with 70 million gallons of water daily. The Chronicle says, it is not worried about the deal since no country is an island but says this is not the time to strike such a deal. In the papers view, many Ghanaians currently do not have access to potable water, stressing that, daily residents of Accra and other parts of the country are seen carry gallons in search of water. Water it says, has also become a scarce commodity in the country. The Chronicle believes in the mist of the scarcity of water, Ghana should solve her domestic problems first, before moving abroad, citing that the Holy Bible did not say love your neighbour more than yourself but love your neighbour as yourself.
