The immediate past Managing Director of Ghana Post Company Limited, Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour, has admitted that some appointment letters were issued after the 2024 elections.
According to him, some of these letters were given to employees as late as December 9, 2024.
However, speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, Obour explained that the delay should not be misconstrued as a last-minute recruitment scheme.
He stated that the recruitment process began in August 2024, with the majority completed in November, but some appointment letters were delayed.
On Tuesday, Sam George announced that he had authorized the termination of about 100 appointments as part of efforts to rationalize and streamline operations within the ministry and its affiliated agencies.
Mr. George revealed that nearly 600 staff recruited into the ministry and its agencies after the 2024 elections were under review, with more dismissals expected.
However, Obour has refuted the figures, insisting that the total number of people recruited in 2024 was only 70, questioning the minister’s claims.
“The minister must be patient and thoroughly go through documents at his disposal because you cannot just dismiss people based on the appointment letters. Some were issued as late as December 9, but that does not mean we rushed to employ people after the election,” he stated.
