The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has directed the annulment of all public sector appointments and recruitment made after December 7, 2024, citing non-compliance with good governance practices and principles.

In a letter addressed to all heads of government institutions and cited by JoyNews, the Chief of Staff noted that such last-minute appointments were inconsistent with the government’s stated position on end-of-tenure recruitment.

“Consistent with government pronouncements in relation to near end-of-tenure appointments and recruitment, I wish to bring to your attention that all appointments and recruitment made in the Public Services of Ghana after 7th December 2024, are not in compliance with established good governance practices and principles,” portions of the letter stated.

Heads of government institutions have been instructed to take immediate steps to annul these appointments and submit a comprehensive report on actions taken to the Office of the Chief of Staff by February 17, 2025.

“Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated,” it added.
