According to Kofi Adams, more sacrifices from workers will be very much appreciated by government.

He admitted that the issues Organized Labour have raised concerning their high living conditions are legitimate, but he maintained that all these policies are aimed at bettering the lives of Ghanaians.
“The issues that Labour has raised are correct and appropriate but the truth is that there are no short cuts to getting the best. You always must go through a certain pain period and a certain period of sacrifice,” he said on Accra-based Radio Gold.
On Tuesday, public sector workers embarked on demonstrations in all 10 regions of the country to force government to reduce the newly introduced taxes, increased utility tariffs and fuel prices.

“Workers of this country have shown some sacrifice but I believe that this sacrifice will be more beneficial if we are able to endure it to a logical end,” he said.
The NDC official warned that if citizens “fail to endure to that logical end and we put some unnecessary pressure and if care is not taken and the system kowtows to the pressure, all our pain and suffering that we would have gone through previously will come to naught.”
He however, expressed satisfaction at the decision by Labour and government to talk out their differences and find a common ground.
“I think that President Mahama and his government have shown a strong commitment in many areas in bettering the lives of the worker and Ghanaians generally…what we need is the support of labour in terms of high levels of activity and to endure a little bit more so that we can reach that golden level we all want,” he added.
