That comment received varied interpretations at the time but has popped up at a time when the University Teachers Association of Ghana, UTAG, are on strike. “The president also made a statement recently that teachers cannot be millionaires but we are taking the opportunity through your outfit to appeal to him to retract and apologize for the comment. “To show he is an elderly person and that what he said, he did not say it well and that he is sorry,” the TEIN leader added. A court yesterday impressed UTAG and the National Labour Commission to resort to out of court settlement on the issue after fining the Association 3,000 cedis for abusing court processes. Nevertheless, I don’t think there is anywhere in the world that people go into teaching expecting to become millionaires and make money.
