The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has directed all heads of government institutions to nullify all appointments made by the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration after December 7, 2024
This is contained in a circular cited by Ghana News Guide dated February 10, 2025, and addressed to all Heads of Government Institutions.
“Consistent with Government pronouncement to near the end of tenure appointments and recruitments, I wish to bring to your attention that all appointments and recruitments made in the Public Services of Ghana after 7th December 2024 are not in compliance with established good governance practices and principles,” Mr Debrah wrote.
He therefore directed that “accordingly, all Heads of Government Institutions are hereby requested to take the necessary steps to revoke any such appointments or recruitments and submit a comprehensive report on the actions taken to this Office by 17th February 2025.”
“Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated,” he urged.
The move is likely to impact individuals who secured public sector appointments or recruitments following the 2024 general elections.
Although no official explanation has been provided for the nullification, sources indicate that it is part of the government’s initiative to promote fairness and transparency during the public sector transition.
