Member of Parliament for Mpraeso, Davis Ansah Opoku
The Member of Parliament for Mpraeso, Davis Ansah Opoku, has slammed the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, for dismissing nearly 100 staff members at Ghana Post.
In an interview with Citi FM on Tuesday, March 25, Davis Opoku criticized President John Dramani Mahama’s administration’s “resetting theme” and called the decision inappropriate.
His comments come in response to a directive by the minister dismissing the affected workers, citing anomalies in their hiring process.
Samuel Nartey George claims that the action is part of a broader rationalization initiative aimed at streamlining ministry and agency operations.
Opoku, however, vehemently disagreed with the decision, arguing that it unfairly disadvantages workers who obtained their positions through legal channels.
“I think the minister is overstepping his bounds, and I wonder if this whole resetting is necessary to the extent that people whose employment dates back before December 7 are even getting their employment terminated.
“These are not political appointments; these are persons who went through the proper HR processes as laid down in these various agencies and got employed. So what precedent are we setting in this country?” citinewsroom.com quoted him as saying.
