Dr. Bawumia jabs Government for the first time as ‘Opposition Leader’

Published on 20 February 2025

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed grave concern over the dismissal of public sector workers by the current government after learning that they were recruited by the previous administration.

The former Vice president noted that the government is arbitrarily dismissing Ghanaians from work, rendering them jobless because different Governments employed them.

In a post on Facebook on Wednesday 19th February 2025, Dr. Bawumia suggested that a party that campaigned on the back of jobs during the 2024 elections, the least it can do under conditions of unemployment is to innovate and create jobs for the unemployed rather than dismiss people.

“Since assuming office, however, the government of President Mahama has pursued a series of actions targeting Ghanaians who were legitimately employed during the previous administration. It is ironic that a party that campaigned on the wings of jobs for all Ghanaians is arbitrarily dismissing the same Ghanaians, rendering them jobless, just because a different government employed them to put their talents to bear on the nation’s development and earn income to cater for themselves and their families. The least a party that campaigned on jobs could do under conditions of unemployment is to also innovate and create jobs rather than dismiss people”.

Dr. Bawumia further observed that the dismissals by the government is so alarming that it has been extended to Directors who are public servants with the excuse that they have relations with politicians.

“Regrettably, these dismissals have been extended to directors who are public servants and not politicians. In some of the cases, the only reason for dismissal was that the persons whose livelihoods have been destroyed are known to or related to politicians as if to suggest that they cannot live independent professional lives, however qualified they are”.

He stressed in his write-up that the Government intends to terminate the appointment of persons performing in critical areas. “There are also reports of the government’s intention to terminate the appointments of persons performing critical jobs such as security personnel, nurses, and teachers simply because they were appointed during the tenure of the previous administration. That will be most unfortunate”.

He is therefore calling on President John Mahama to reverse what he calls ‘the unfair dismissals’, and protect all citizens.
