Rodaline Imoru Ayarna, a Public Interest Advocate, has weighed in on the termination of last-minute recruitments by the new John Dramani Mahama-led administration.
She argued that the outgoing administration should have submitted the list of the people to the incoming government rather than employing them, most especially when they knew they were leaving the government.
Speaking on Newsfile on Accra-based Joy News, Rodaline Imoru Ayarna alleged that money was taken from some people to get them onto the government payroll after the NPP lost the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
She is of the view that the revocation of the appointment will offer the new administration the opportunity to streamline the recruitment process to give all potential employees a level playing field.
“Granted that maybe it was started way before the elections, couldn’t it have been passed to the new government? Because there is no rush in that. If you have taken people and you feel that they are qualified for the job that you take them for, you should be able to give that list to the next government,” she said.
Background
The directive, issued by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, instructs all heads of government institutions to annul appointments and recruitments made into the Public Service after the specified date.
A letter circulated to government agencies stated: “Consistent with Government pronouncement in relation to near end-of-tenure appointments and recruitments, I wish to bring to your attention that all appointments and recruitments made in the Public Services of Ghana after 7th December 2024 are not in compliance with established good governance practices and principles.”
