Former Vice President of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed shock that a government that came to power on the back of job creation is rather displacing workers just because they were employed by the previous government.
He is of the view that what a government that promised jobs could do under the circumstances is to also innovate and create jobs rather than dismiss people. "It is ironic that a party which campaigned on the wings of jobs for all Ghanaians is arbitrarily dismissing the same Ghanaians, rendering them jobless, just because a different government employed them to put their talents to bear on the nation's development and earn income to cater for themselves and their families," he said.
Adding that "The least a party that campaigned on jobs could do under conditions of unemployment is to also innovate and create jobs rather than dismiss people".
To Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, what's even more worrying is the fact that the dismissals also include people in the public service who are deemed to have any form of affiliation with the previous government.
