Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed grave concern over the dismissal of workers appointed under the previous administration, describing it as unfair and politically motivated.
In a statement released on Thursday, Dr. Bawumia criticized President John Mahama’s government for rendering Ghanaians jobless despite campaigning on a promise to create employment. He pointed out that the dismissals have even extended to public servants such as directors, security personnel, nurses, and teachers, whose only offense appears to be that they were hired during the previous administration.
“It is ironic that a party which campaigned on the wings of jobs for all Ghanaians is arbitrarily dismissing the same Ghanaians,” he stated.
Dr. Bawumia urged President Mahama to reverse the dismissals, stating that governance should be about progress rather than targeting individuals based on political affiliations.
