Indexing government scandals one at a time
In what is been described as reenactment of the dismissal of some 568 selected public servants by their forebear government of Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia, President Akufo-Addo has in the last five months sacked a staggering 13,000 public sector workers.
The dismissed public servants, most of who were hired during the eight year rule of the National Democratic Congress administration, have been shown the exit in fulfillment of the NPP government’s policy to dispense with the services of government workers suspected of being sympathizers of the NDC and, were employed under the Mahama administration.
Several workers at key state institutions such as GAPOHA, MASLOC, NADMO, SNNIT, YES, and TOR have reportedly been asked to go home.
Acting National Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddie Blay has asked all public sector workers who have been sacked by the NPP adminstration to head to court if they believe it’s unlawful.
