The Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has released the findings of a committee tasked with reviewing the revocation of recruitments, appointments and promotions made in the Public Service after the December 7 elections.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu explained that the committee, constituted by the Chief of Staff, was asked to scrutinise all appointments affected by the earlier directive and determine which met established procedures.
According to him, a total of 2,080 individuals were impacted by the initial decision to revoke post-election appointments.
Following the committee’s review, 1,201 appointments were upheld after being found to have complied with due process and the relevant recruitment guidelines.
However, 541 appointments were revoked for failing to meet procedural requirements.
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu further disclosed that 338 appointments involving persons with disabilities were upheld after the committee took their circumstances into consideration.
He said the review process was aimed at ensuring fairness, compliance with laid-down rules and the integrity of public sector recruitment, while balancing legal requirements with social responsibility.
