SunStar March 12, 2021 Respondent Juraldine N. Gerasmio (Juraldine) filed a complaint for illegal dismissal asking for separation pay, among other claims, against petitioner Italkarat 18 Inc. While he signed a resignation letter and quitclaim, it was upon the promise of Noel San Pedro, then officer-in-charge of petitioner, that he will be given a sum of P170,000. However, to his dismay he was later informed by San Pedro that he would be receiving only the amount of P26,901.34.
On the other hand, the petitioner alleged that Juraldine voluntarily resigned from his job. During the last year of his employment, he took leaves of absence in order to process his papers for a possible seaman’s job.
Nana Addo s 85 ministers still too high – Gyampo – Ghana Visions ghanavisions.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from ghanavisions.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Professor Ransford Gyampo Professor Ransford Gyampo says the reduced number of 85 Ministers to serve in President Akufo-Addo’s second term is still too high for a country like Ghana.
According to the University of Ghana lecturer, a maximum of 40 Ministers will be ideal for Ghana considering the country’s scarce resources.
“In terms of size of government, an optimum size of 40 would have been felt by all as a drastic response. But it is rumored that the size of government in the next administration is likely to hover around 85. This to my mind, is still big. President J.A. Kuffour vehemently criticized President Jerry Rawlings for appointing 82 Ministers in the lead up to the 2000 elections. But when he (Kufuor) became President, he appointed 88 ministers. President Atta Mills downsized the government to 75 Ministers and we still criticized him.
