CDS Africa, a civil society organization committed to good governance, the rule of law, and labor rights, has expressed deep concern over the directive issued by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah revoking all public service appointments made after December 7, 2024.
CDS Africa said, that this directive, which instructs heads of government institutions to annul such appointments and submit reports by February 17, 2025, raises serious constitutional and legal implications that must be addressed with urgency and transparency.
The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah directed all heads of government institutions to nullify all appointments made by the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration after December 7, 2024.
This is contained in a circular sighted by 3news.com dated February 10, 2025, and addressed to all Heads of Government Institutions. "Consistent with Government pronouncement in relation to near end of tenure appointments and recruitments, I wish to bring to your attention that all appointments and recruitments made in the Public Services of Ghana after 7th December, 2024 are not in compliance with established good governance practices and principles," Mr Debrah wrote.
