Indeed, they have reminded the teachers that during the Covid-19 closure of schools, government still paid them and so this should be a reason to consider for consideration. Indeed, on TV3\u2019s News 360, Angel Carbonu called on the government to stop using the excuse of providing for the teachers during the closure of schools.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/250d8ceb13a7407d89d6fad061f95374\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Carbonu was asked by the TV3 newscaster as to why the teachers are on strike at a time when the country is economically weak and government has run to the IMF for bailout. Interestingly, the NAGRAT leader maintained that Ghana has always been in crises and this crisis didn\u2019t start this week. \u201cWe have been in economic crises for so long. I don\u2019t know about IMF and I don\u2019t negotiate with them so don\u2019t ask me intangible questions\u201d Carbonu said.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Still_Unbeatable (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
