GFD distances itself from unemployed graduates with disabilities’ protest threat over GES recruitment

The Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations (GFD) has distanced itself from a statement issued by the Coalition of Unemployed Graduates with Disabilities over the ongoing Ghana Education Service (GES) recruitment exercise, rejecting calls for the removal of public officials and the occupation of state institutions.

The Federation also referenced remarks by Deputy Minister for Education and Chairperson of Parliament's Disability Caucus, Dr Clement Apaak, who reportedly assured the disability community on August 2 that the recruitment process was still ongoing and that qualified persons with disabilities would be considered.

According to the Federation, it is scheduled to meet officials of the Ministry on Tuesday, August 4, to seek clarity on the recruitment process and press for the inclusion of qualified persons with disabilities.
