The Minority in Parliament has strongly condemned the mass dismissal of over 100 employees of the Bank of Ghana, describing the action as unconstitutional, unlawful, and morally unacceptable.
At a press conference on Tuesday, 24 June, the Minority expressed outrage over the terminations, which they claim were carried out without due process, prior consultation, or any justifiable cause.
Terminations in Violation of Labour and Constitutional Rights According to the Minority, the dismissed employees were legally recruited, duly vetted, and had been contributing meaningfully to national development.
However, they were abruptly removed following a directive from the Chief of Staff, dated 11 February 2025, which called for the revocation of all public sector appointments made after 7 December 2024. "This directive is wholly unconstitutional and unlawful," the Minority asserted. "No such directive has legal authority, and institutions must not act on political whims." They cited Article 24 of the 1992 Constitution, which guarantees every Ghanaian the right to work under fair and satisfactory conditions, and Article 23, which requires public institutions to act fairly and in accordance with the law.
