    Ghanaians are not serious. People have kids here in USA and get back 2 work after 3 days. What are you talking about?

    DD, Ghanaians are serious people if you did not know. What madam Bulley and the PP and others are advocating for is good for society. A woman cannot give birth and go back to work after three months. She needs to rest and hea ...

    I agree with you. I think that they should even ask for one year. Most of the people who are complaining about it are men and as such do not have the concept of what child birth can entail.

    If it is 6 month without pay than it is ok. Ghana uses 60% of her productivity to pay workers. and now we want people to be paid for six month for giving birth. I will be ok if people are give one year leave without pay.

  • gq 10 years ago

  • KOFI USA 10 years ago

    we always want to be like USA, GERMANY, UK and they are there talking about six month pay off for giving birth. My boss gave birth and the third day she is at work. What sought of nonsense is this.

  • Concerned Citizen 10 years ago

    The most people get in US is 6 weeks, and Ghanaians want 6 months? Talk of productivity...smh. Wake up Ghana, we are not getting anywhere with this kind of attitude.

    It is simply humane to give them 6 months rest to breastfeed the babies after 9 months of endurance.

    The official period for Maternity leave in the U.S.is 12 weeks WITHOUT PAY. People choose to go back to work a few weeks or days after delivery because of economic reasons.
