The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Forestry Commission, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John) says his outfit is not recruiting anyone at the Commission.
According to him, people would be employed on permanent basis if the government gives the permission, but for now the Commission is not undertaking any recruitment exercise.
He said he has over 50,000 workers who are discharging their duties without any interference and therefore will not take in any new application.

Sir John encouraged the youth to work harder to protect the forest as part of their contribution in greening the country through afforestation.
