The Head Pastor of the Caravan of Prayer Outreach Ministry at Gyinyase in the Asokwa Constituency of Ashanti, Apostle Johnson Ackah Braimah, has added his voice to the trending issue of government’s revocation of appointment of employees, who were recruited after the December 7 general election.

The revocation of their appointment follows a directive by the Chief of Staff, Mr Julius Debrah.

He said government must reconsider the decision and give it a human-face approach since all those affected are Ghanaians.

Apostle Braimah made the appeal in an interview with “The New Trust” newspaper on Tuesday, 4th March 2025.

He noted that though the government’s reason for sacking these employees, which is due to lack of funds to cater for them, somehow makes sense, the government should also try to look for alternative means to reabsorb them.

He explained that though the government had boldly explained to Ghanaians why these young men and women had been sacked, he personally smells “tit for tat” tactics.

He said when the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took office in 2017, a similar thing happened and he personally believes that the Mahama administration is repeating the same thing.

According to Apostle Braimah, no matter how the situation is, the NPP and the National Democratic Congress must bury their differences and look at the best means to move the nation forward.

He stated that the President must know that the affected youth are all Ghanaians and any attempt to frustrate them from getting employment could turn back to affect the nation, especially in the future.

He said some could involve themselves in armed robbery and social vices which the nation could bear the consequences.

He highlighted a principle in the Bible that says, “We shouldn’t pay evil with evil and that we must always pray for our enemies in order to succeed in life.”
