Accra, Dec.20, GNA- Since the ruling New Patriotic Party lost the December 7 General Election, the Government has not issued a single financial clearance to any ministry, department or agency (MDA) to make new payments or recruitment of personnel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madam Fatimatu Abubakar, the Spokesperson for the Government Transition Team, said all the \u201clast-minute payments and recruitment\u201d raised by the in-coming government did not exist and that the processes for payments and recruitment started months earlier.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said government had shown goodwill towards the in-coming administration for a smooth transfer of power and urged both sides of the Transition Team to be professional in their actions and utterances.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madam Abubakar, also the Minister of Information, in a media interview in Accra on Thursday, said the recruitment\u00a0 of nurses and allied health personnel, which the portal for recruitment opened long before the nation went to the polls, and tax waivers for One-District, One-Factory companies had long been laid before Parliament.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0The recruitment of security personnel started at the beginning of the year, while the processes for purchasing 65-feet naval ships began three years ago, she added.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madam Abubakar said the Government had complied with the provisions in the Transition Act while the Co-chairs of the Joint Team had conducted the business of the transition process fairly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She called on Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Spokesperson for the in-coming administration, to be measured in his public pronouncements in order not to raise \u201cunnecessary tensions\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
