"I have authorised termination of a few more at Ghana Post" - Samuel Nartey George

The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has announced the termination of over 100 appointments at Ghana Post that were made after the December 7 general elections.

Speaking to the press in Parliament on Tuesday, March 24, Mr. George described the post-election appointments as a “mess” that he would not inherit, stressing the need for rationalisation within the ministry and its agencies.

“If you are a minister and you take over a ministry that has 3,117 staff in the ministry and its agencies, and 600 were recruited after December 7, you cannot expect me to come and inherit such a mess, and so the rationalisation is ongoing,” he stated.

He confirmed that the termination process was part of broader efforts to streamline operations and ensure efficiency within the sector.

“Today, I have authorised the termination of a few more at Ghana Post — almost 100 that were done post-election,” Mr. George added.

The move is expected to address staffing concerns and improve operational efficiency within the ministry and its affiliated agencies.
