The move aligns with the government’s stance against last-minute appointments at the end of an administration’s tenure.
“All appointments and recruitments made in the Public Services of Ghana after December 7, 2024, do not comply with established governance principles. Therefore, necessary steps must be taken to annul them,” the directive stated.
This decision is expected to affect several appointments made in the final days of the previous administration.
