The Minority in Parliament has criticised President John Dramani Mahama over the recent mass termination of public sector jobs, accusing him of worsening the unemployment crisis in the country.
Speaking at a press conference in Parliament on Monday, March 3, former Finance Minister Dr Mohammed Amin Adam expressed concerns over the government's decision to revoke appointments, warning of its negative impact on livelihoods. "The termination of the jobs of young Ghanaians, which has become synonymous with President Mahama as 'Terminator 1,' is a sign of what is yet to come," Dr Amin Adam stated.
He argued that merely dismissing workers and replacing them with others does not amount to job creation. "Sacking people from employment and replacing them later with others does not amount to job creation.
What the people of Ghana want are new jobs for those yet to be employed," he added.
