The Minority Leader of Parliament Alexander Afenyo-Markin has asked President John Mahama to order the reversal of "the recent revocation of appointments of public servants across key institutions in the country".
It follows a directive by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah ordering all appointments made after December 7, 2024 to be revoked.
In a letter signed by Mr Afenyo-Markin and dated February 18, 2025, the lawmaker and lawyer argued the terminations contravened "foundational legal principles and erode public trust and confidence in our State Institutions".
He mentioned President Mahama's 24-hour economic policy noting, "It is, therefore, deeply disappointing that, rather than expanding job opportunities, your administration is now overseeing a wave of terminations, displacing hardworking Ghanaians from their existing livelihoods." "Your Excellency, while affected individuals may seek legal recourse through Articles 2(1) and 130 of the Constitution, I firmly believe that your prompt intervention can pre-empt the need for protracted litigation.
