"'The mess is supposed to be clean long time ago but thank God the evidence is there so now we are cleaning the mess. The cleaning up is good but how quick.

"How quick are we going to do it so that the guys who took this business as their life won't go hungry. Because that is their life. How much are they even paying them?

"Even the 400 and 500 Ghana cedis they are suffering, talk less of nothing. I'm happy it is going this way but how quick?. Let's reform it and put the right measures in places, he said.
