Ms Lydia Lamisi Akanvariba, the Minister of State-des­ignate, Pub­lic-Sector Reforms, has called for a dialogue on the recruitment of individuals into the public sector.

The dialogue was necessary to prevent favouritism and politi­cal interferences in recruitment, which had resulted in the employ­ment of unqualified persons, she said.

Ms Akanvariba made the call during her vetting by the Ap­pointments Committee in Parlia­ment, Accra, on Monday.

Her comments were in re­sponse to questions relating to the recent government directive on revocation of all appoint­ments and recruitments into the public services after December 7, 2024.
