Revocation of post Dec.7 appointments a ‘threat to our democracy’ – Bawumia tells Mahama
The former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed his reservations about the revocation of appointments made by the previous administration after December 07, 2024.
Bawumia, has, in a Facebook post Wednesday, February 19, 2025, criticised the Mahama administration for asking Ghanaians who were duly employed through due process to go home, some, he says because of their political affiliations.
According to him, the decision of the government threatens Ghana’s democratic governance and needs to be addressed head-on to ensure justice is dispensed to all citizens irrespective of their political divide.
His comments follow a directive by the Chief of Staff to all heads of government institutions to terminate appointments of persons who were added to the government payroll after the December 07 elections.
In Dr. Bawumia’s post, he said he promised during his concession speech in December last year to make it his responsibility to remind the government to live by the tenets of the constitution which serves as a pivot to Ghana’s democracy.
He continued that the power Ghanaians gave to the National Democratic Congress in the last polls was for the continuation of national development, despite the different political backgrounds of those steering affairs in several units at the public sector.
He wants the government to reverse the appointments for those affected to be reinstated to their previous positions.
“When Ghanaians voted for change in the 2024 general elections, it manifested the desire to continue with national development, albeit with different people at the helm of affairs.
“It was within this spirit that I gave an early concession speech, urging all Ghanaians to support our new president as he attempts to make his contribution to the cumulative progress successive governments have chalked over the years,” Bawumia added.
