The Minister of State for Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, says the government will reinstate public sector workers whose appointments were revoked after December 7, 2024, if it is established that due process was followed.<\/p>\n

Speaking on JoyFM\u2019s Top Story<\/strong><\/em> on Tuesday, September 16, he revealed that a revocation committee, operating under the auspices of the Chief of Staff, has been tasked to carefully review all such appointments and dismissals.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I speak to you, there\u2019s a revocation committee set up under the auspices of the Chief of Staff, which is perusing all the cases on their merits and where it is found that due process was not followed, the dismissals will stand, but where it is shown that due process is followed, those people will be reinstated,\u201d Mr Ofosu said.<\/p>\n

He explained that during the transition period after the 2024 elections, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government rushed appointments into the civil service without following proper recruitment procedures.<\/p>\n

He argued that this prompted corrective measures from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the John Mahama-led administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that they are affiliated with NPP is not an issue. They [NPP] bypassed laid-down processes. They had eight years to employ everybody that they needed to employ, yet they lost elections, and within a matter of a month, they had railroaded people into the civil service without real cost to due process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Ofosu stressed that the government has nothing against individuals securing employment but insisted on fairness and adherence to the rules. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a country governed by rules, so you cannot bypass the laid-down process and unfairly tilt the process in favour of persons aligned to one political party or the other,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On public perception of the government\u2019s performance, he said feedback indicates \u201cgeneral satisfaction,\u201d particularly regarding the economy. <\/p>\n

The Government Communication spokesperson noted that the conditions of the Ghanaian economy today are significantly better than at the beginning of the year, when the NDC administration assumed office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe improvements in the economy have been felt by all, and every person engaging in an honest assessment will concede that things are much better today than they were at the beginning of the year in January or February when we took over,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He admitted, however, that challenges remain, particularly in the fight against illegal mining, commony known as galamsey.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs is the case in the fighting against galamsey, we continue to take measures to ensure that we overcome it, so the public can follow what we are doing and appreciate that we are working to alleviate the difficulties that that particular canker poses.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
