The Member of Parliament for Mpraeso, Davis Ansah Opoku, has urged President John Dramani Mahama to reconsider a directive that revokes appointments and recruitments made after December 7, 2024.
The MP has expressed concerns over the legality and fairness of the decision, warning that it could undermine job security and institutional stability.
In a letter addressed to the President, Opoku stated that the directive, signed by the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, contravenes the Public Services Commission Act, 1994 (Act 482). "This sweeping instruction raises serious concerns about due process, fairness, and the rule of law.
While the government has the authority to manage public service appointments in accordance with its administrative vision, such decisions must be guided by merit, legal principles, and institutional continuity," Mr Opoku wrote. "Ghana's public service must remain professional and independent, ensuring that governance transitions do not disrupt national development or erode confidence in our institutions," he added.
