The Minority Leader further urged the President to “Direct the immediate reinstatement of all affected employees to their respective positions, ensuring that the harm done to them and their families is corrected without delay.
“This will restore confidence in the public service and reaffirm your administration’s commitment to justice and fairness” he stated.
Meanwhile , Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State in charge of Government Communications and spokesperson for President John Dramani Mahama, has justified the government’s decision to revoke post December 7 appointments, citing irregularities in the recruitment processes.
