The government says some public sector appointments that were recently revoked may be reinstated if ongoing investigations confirm that the proper recruitment procedures were followed.

Minister of State for Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, revealed that a special revocation committee has been established under the Office of the Chief of Staff to review the wave of dismissals that followed the 2024 elections.

Speaking on JoyFM on Tuesday, September 16, Mr. Ofosu stressed that the government is committed to fairness and will not deny workers their rights where due process was respected.

“There’s a revocation committee set up under the Chief of Staff, which is reviewing all the cases on their merits.

Where due process was not followed, the dismissals will stand.

But where it is shown that proper procedures were observed, those people will be reinstated,” he explained.

According to him, during the transition after the December 2024 elections, the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration rushed appointments into the civil service without adhering to established procedures.

This, he said, made corrective action by the new National Democratic Congress (NDC) government necessary.

Mr. Ofosu insisted that the issue is not about political affiliation but about fairness and compliance with the rules.

“We are a country governed by rules. You cannot bypass the laid-down process and unfairly tilt the system in favour of persons aligned to one political party or another,” he added.

On the broader public mood, Mr. Ofosu claimed that feedback shows “general satisfaction” with the NDC government’s performance, especially in economic management.

He argued that the economy is in much better condition now than at the beginning of 2025 when the administration assumed office.

“The improvements in the economy have been felt by all, and anyone making an honest assessment will concede that things are much better today than they were in January or February,” he said.

The Minister, however, admitted that challenges remain, particularly in the fight against illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.

He assured the public that the government is intensifying efforts to curb the practice and mitigate its harmful effects on the environment and livelihoods.

“We continue to take measures to ensure that we overcome galamsey so that the public can appreciate that we are working to reduce the difficulties this canker poses,” he emphasised.
