In an interview on June 27, Cudjoe applauded the current BoG leadership for showing what he called “sensible” judgment following public backlash and parliamentary pushback.
The affected employees, largely recruited in December 2024, were terminated on June 19, 2025, reportedly due to performance-related issues.
The dismissals sparked controversy, with the Minority in Parliament condemning the move as unconstitutional and demanding immediate reinstatement.
The BoG, however, insisted the terminations were standard post-probation reviews.
Cudjoe argued that the reversal marked a break from past practices, suggesting that such responsiveness would not have occurred under Nana Akufo-Addo’s leadership.
“Under Nana Addo, he will never do it,” he remarked, indirectly crediting the BoG Governor for his flexibility.
While welcoming the recall, Cudjoe emphasized the need for transparency in public sector hiring processes.
He questioned the lack of clarity surrounding both the initial dismissals and the reversal, urging authorities to offer clearer explanations. “Public sector work should not be shrouded in secrecy because we pay the government,” he said.
He further stressed the importance of knowing how public servants are selected and what their roles are in enhancing productivity.
“We need to know what schedule they are on… otherwise, we are not going anywhere,” he added.
The reinstated workers have now been placed on extended probation, with performance expected to remain under review.
