These guys receive a salary form tax payers money to do work. Instead they mark their attendance and perform street dramas

In my mind these are not employees. These are members of the public who are affected by the tax. What is written on the posters are true

Don't collect taxes but give us (will give you) everything free. Study the faces in the pics and observe where else there show up for political patronage. It will tell a compelling story.

NPP is promising that their government will give them everything free with more work rule relaxed. No taxes on people too. But they want it now as well.

Not sure. But bumbling along its way with the assistance of a compass.
