Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has asserted that Ghana's civil service is not politically neutral, contrary to public perception.
According to him, partisan interests have long influenced appointments and dismissals within the public sector.
Speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show on Friday, Mr Kpebu argued that successive governments have historically treated the civil service as an extension of their political machinery, often placing individuals aligned with their agenda in key positions. "We say the civil service is neutral, but it is not true.
If you listen to and read papers from very high-ranking officials, when it comes to the civil service, they are partisan.
