The Office of the President has issued a directive revoking all appointments and recruitments made in the Public Services of Ghana after December 7, 2024. This decision, outlined in an official letter signed by Chief of Staff Hon. Julius Debrah, cites non-compliance with established good governance principles.
According to the statement, government institutions have been instructed to take immediate steps to annul any such appointments or recruitments and submit a comprehensive report on actions taken by February 17, 2025.
The directive comes in the wake of a transition period as the government approaches the end of its tenure. The revocation is consistent with governance practices aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in public service employment.
The move is expected to affect various government agencies that conducted recruitments within the specified period. While no specific reasons were provided for the non-compliance, the directive suggests concerns over due process in the hiring practices leading up to the change in administration.
Government institution heads have been urged to cooperate fully with the directive. The development has already sparked discussions among stakeholders, with some calling for clarity on the legality of the decision and its implications for affected employees.
