The Daily Graphic is worried that after the commencement of operations at the terminal
three, Ghana Ports and Habour Authority workers are still embarking on protests, with new allegations each day. This is contrary to what they claim to be a communiqué from the presidency to the workers union indicating that the execution of the concession agreement was to be temporarily suspended until issues relating to job losses are addressed. The Graphic says it may agree with the workers that there could be job losses but thinks the authorities should engage the workers and assuage their fears for them to appreciate the fact that the project may after all be to their benefit as well.

The Ghanaian Times discusses the 59th Republic Day commemoration and challenges government to reflect on the country’s progress. The paper is worried about the growing inequalities and pockets of poverty, especially in the northern part of the country. It believes Ghana is endowed with enormous resources that should be enough for equal distribution to all parts of the country, and to ensure fair sharing of the national cake. This according to the Times requires prudent use of the country’s limited resources, to extend social services like education, health facilities, and water, as well as electricity to all areas, especially the undeserved communities.
