I think that governance is a continuing process and we are there to help all sectors of society.

When we get to know what your concerns are, our decisions will be better informed,” the President said.Deputy TUC General Secretary Dr. Yaw Baah thanked the President for his visit and expressed the union’s gratitude for government’s commitment to implementing the new Single Spine Salary Structure.This is the latest in a string of surprise visits by President Mills to state institutions to acquaint himself with their operations.It comes after visits to the Accra Psychiatric Hospital, the revenue collection agencies and the Tema Habour.Director of Communications at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho, told Joy News the visits are part of the President’s “Better Ghana Agenda.”Source: Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
