The Ministry of Communications has terminated the employment of nearly 100 workers at Ghana Post, following concerns over irregular recruitment processes.
Communications Minister Sam George explained that the affected individuals were hired after the December 7, 2024, elections without adhering to proper procedures.
The dismissals form part of a broader initiative to restructure the ministry and ensure that only legally appointed employees remain on staff.
George stated that he would not allow improperly recruited personnel to continue working under his leadership, suggesting that further reviews could lead to additional workforce adjustments.
This decision aligns with the government’s ongoing scrutiny of post-election appointments, particularly those believed to have bypassed standard hiring protocols.
Authorities have stressed that the objective is not politically motivated but rather an effort to uphold transparency and accountability in public sector employment.
The move has sparked mixed reactions, with some praising the minister for enforcing due process, while others, particularly affected employees, have expressed concerns over job security.
Despite the backlash, the minister insists that the restructuring will improve efficiency and ensure Ghana Post operates with a more accountable workforce.
As the situation unfolds, there are expectations that similar actions may be taken in other state institutions where irregularities in employment have been identified.
