The former Managing Director of Ghana Post Company Limited, Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour, has called on Communication Minister Sam George to exercise restraint in the dismissal of workers.
Obour stressed that the recruitment process was entirely lawful and emphasized that no employees were hired following the 2024 elections.
He clarified that all interviews and aspects of the recruitment process were well-documented and submitted to the government in response to a request for the database.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Obour suggested that a little patience and due diligence would have provided clarity on the issue.
“The due processes were followed with the recruitment process, and I believe he will rescind the decision if he goes through the documents. So, I will plead with him,” Obour said.
On Tuesday, Sam George announced that he had authorised the terminations as part of a broader initiative to rationalise and streamline operations within the ministry and its affiliated agencies.
Mr. George revealed that almost 600 staff recruited into the ministry and its agencies after the 2024 elections were under review, with more expected to be let go.
However, Obour warned that such an approach could create disaffection, especially given that the Mahama-led administration campaigned heavily on job creation.
He also expressed his willingness to assist Mr. George with any information regarding the recruitment processes.
