Former Deputy Finance Minister, Dr.
Alex Ampaabeng, has strongly rejected claims of last-minute mass recruitment in December 2024, describing the recent dismissals of newly appointed public sector workers as a political witch hunt meant to discredit the previous administration. "These actions are nothing but pure political witch-hunting and a way to paint a negative picture of the past administration," he stated in a Facebook this portal sighted, calling for the reinstatement of those affected.
He clarified that the last financial clearance for recruitment was issued to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) services on 30th November 2024.
According to him, the application for clearance was originally submitted in April 2024, but due to bureaucratic delays, final approval came months later. "I'll challenge anyone with contrary information to come out," he added.
