Critics have raised concerns that these last-minute appointments and promotions may be an attempt to bloat the public payroll before the incoming government takes office.<\/p>\n<p>The Transition Committee has also constituted six additional sub-committees to facilitate the handover process.<\/p>\n<p>These sub-committees will focus on key areas such as *Finance and Economy, Energy and Natural Resources, Legal and Governance,<br \/>Infrastructure, *Interior\/Public Safety (Security), and Social Sector. Each sub-committee will comprise three nominees from both the outgoing and incoming governments, with the Head of Civil Service, Head of Local Government Service, and Cabinet Secretary joining in when required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-BY Daniel Bampoe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatimatu Abubakar \u00a0 In a move to clarify the status of ongoing recruitment and payments, Ghana\u2019s Government Transition Committee has denied reports suggesting that all recruitment processes and payments have been put on hold.
