The Majority Leader in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, has once again defended the government’s decision to reverse appointments made during the transition period after the 2024 general elections.
Addressing Parliament, Ayariga stood by the government’s position, emphasizing that they had repeatedly warned against last-minute recruitments. Despite these warnings, some individuals proceeded with the appointments, prompting the government’s decision to undo them.
“We told you, we warned you, we cautioned you, we tried to stop you, but you insisted and went ahead with the recruitments,” Ayariga said firmly. “Now, we have no regrets about reversing those decisions.”
The reversal has sparked a storm of controversy, with critics arguing that it infringes on the rights of the individuals affected. On the other hand, supporters of the move argue that these last-minute appointments were politically driven and lacked proper transparency.
Ayariga, however, stood his ground, asserting that the government’s actions were necessary to uphold accountability and ensure that public sector recruitments are conducted with fairness and integrity, without any political bias. His comments serve as a reminder of the government’s commitment to maintaining a transparent and accountable recruitment process.
In his submission, Ayariga stressed that the government would not back down on its efforts to ensure fairness in public sector appointments.
