Mr Kwadwo Adjei Darko, Minister of Mines, on Tuesday condemned the ‘African Punctuality’ syndrome and called for a system of remunerating workers based on man-hours worked instead of the general monthly payment.
Mr Darko said this when he addressed management and staff of the Mines Department in Accra as part of a familiarisation visit to departments and agencies under the mining sector.
“The African time has been the bane of the continent’s under-development, retardation and economic crises as people pay little attention to time management in the scheme of events.”
He said: “Ghana under Positive Change administration needs to assess developed countries that remunerate workers based on productive man hours worked for and adopt the mechanism for efficiency on the labour front.”
