Felix Kwakye Ofosu slams last-minute Akufo-Addo appointments as unlawful

Minister of State for Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has criticized the previous Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration for making last-minute public service appointments without due process.

He revealed that a review exposed irregularities, including hires without formal applications, interviews, or medical screenings.

Some appointments were even backdated, raising concerns about their legality and financial burden on the new government.

Speaking on Citi FM, he recalled the NDC transition team’s earlier warning that such appointments would be revoked.

His remarks follow Chief of Staff Julius Debrah’s directive to cancel all public service hires made after December 7, 2024, a move aimed at ensuring transparency and fiscal responsibility in government employment.
