, a former Member of Parliament for the Suame Constituency in the Ashanti Region, has stated that President could face impeachment for violating the constitution by dismissing public service workers appointed by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to him, the former president lawfully appointed these public sector workers in accordance with the constitution.
Therefore, without a justified reason for their dismissal, President Mahama's actions would be deemed unconstitutional, making him liable for removal from office. "You see, the president swore an oath to uphold the constitution.
If a former president followed constitutional procedures to appoint workers, and when you assume office, you disregard the constitution and act against it, then you have violated the oath you swore. "And when you breach the constitution, the only recourse available to us is impeachment. "Article 191 states that a member of the public service shall not be dismissed, removed from office, or demoted without just cause," Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, who also served as the former Majority Leader of Parliament and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs explained.
