Because you are busily campaigning, they see people spending money because your going and coming are being run on fuel and you eat, you sleep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it is not just 10 people. Hundreds of people are in the bush doing that. It is a lot of money so obviously the people will feel embittered. And that is the reason why the strikes are becoming rampant. And we will get even worse in the coming weeks. So we just have to find ways and means of dealing with the matter without delay.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Labour analyst Austin Gamey has criticised the government for the recent unrest in Ghana\u2019s labour landscape.
