Fellow Ghanaians, below is an excerpt from my address earlier today at the Black Star Square where we marked the 2014 May Day. W can only be in this together and appreciate the various dynamics of our national development. As a social democrat, I have the utmost respect for the right of our gallant workers to negotiate a living wage. But as President, I have an obligation, too, to the rest of our population to ensure that the economy of this country is protected. I have an obligation to ensure that there are enough resources left over to enable that the other 24.4 million Ghanaians who are not public sector workers have access to quality healthcare, education, clean drinking water, adequate sanitation, power, and the numerous other commitments the state is obliged to provide, especially if we are to continue making positive changes in the social indicators that reflect our progress and development.
