The Minister for Communication, Samuel Nartey George, authorized the termination of nearly 100 Ghana Post employees as part of a staff rationalization exercise.
He stated that nearly 600 employees were recruited after the December 7, 2024 elections and that the goal is to reduce excess staff and improve efficiency.
“If you are a minister and you take over a ministry that has 3,117 staff in the ministry and its agencies, and you realise that almost 600 of them were recruited after December 7, basically, you cannot expect me to come and inherit such mess and continue with it,” Mr George explained.
Adding that, “I will clean up the ministry, make sure it is lean and efficient, and carry out its work.”
