They have also suggested to government to among other things seal leakages in the mining sector and ensure all entities given tax waivers start contributing to the national coffers.

The nurses and midwives were speaking during a government meeting with organized labour on the domestic debt exchange programme.

Government is currently working with stakeholders to arrive at a consensus on its domestic debt exchange programme.

President of the Ghana registered Nurses and Midwives Association , Perpetual Ofori Ampofo, says hair-cuts to their investment will have dire consequences on contributors, especially retirees.

The association wants government to implement suggestions made during their engagement and suspend the domestic debt exchange programme.

Mrs Ampofo wants government’s technical team to come out with ideas to address the debt of the country and desist from tapping into bonds and savings.
