Governor of Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama
The Minority in Parliament has condemned the Bank of Ghana (BoG) over the reported dismissal of staff members, describing the move as illegal and an abuse of power.
According to the Minority, the Central Bank has attempted to hide behind probation clauses to unlawfully terminate the appointments of nearly 100 workers. The Bank, however, insists that only a few probationary staff were affected as part of what it called a rationalisation exercise.
Addressing the media in Parliament, Member of Parliament for Savelugu, Fatahiya Abdul-Aziz, demanded the immediate reinstatement of all affected workers and called for accountability from the Governor of the Bank of Ghana.
She described the dismissals as a threat to Ghana’s democracy and workers’ rights, warning that such actions erode public trust in state institutions.
“The Minority in Parliament stands shoulder to shoulder with these workers, and we will not waver. We demand immediate Reinstatement: The Bank of Ghana must restore every single dismissed worker to their rightful position without any further delay. Their appointments were lawful; their terminations were not,” she stated.
She further urged the dismissed staff to seek legal redress, assuring them of the Minority’s full support.
Madam Abdul-Aziz emphasised that the fight is not only for the affected workers but also for the protection of the rule of law in Ghana.
“The Minority chooses the rule of law. We choose justice. We choose the people. We will fight with every legal, parliamentary, and democratic tool at our disposal until every worker is reinstated, every wrong is righted, and every institution is reminded that it serves the people of Ghana – not the powerful few,” she added.
