It was a necessary step to uphold the rule of law and ensure accountability,” Kwakye Ofosu said. He noted that the cleared appointments, which cut across 36 state institutions, followed proper recruitment and promotion procedures. Importantly, all those confirmed had received their appointment letters before December 7, 2024 — the date of the general election that ushered in the John Mahama administration. Earlier, the Chief of Staff had directed that all post-election appointments be revoked, a move that generated public debate and anxiety among affected workers. Kwakye Ofosu clarified that 541 appointments were cancelled because they did not meet the required standards or were completed after December 7, 2026.
