Assafuah warned that the president would be held responsible for any hardship or suffering resulting from this directive.
The decision, announced on February 11, 2025, was communicated through the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, instructing all heads of government institutions to revoke appointments made after the specified date.
The directive also required a full report on the actions taken by February 17, 2025. According to the Chief of Staff, these appointments allegedly did not align with established principles of good governance.
Speaking on Peace FM, Assafuah expressed his concern over the potential impact of this decision on affected workers.
He argued that many young people had gone through legitimate processes to secure their positions and that their sudden dismissal was unfair.
“It is unfortunate that after going through all the due processes to secure a job, one’s appointment is revoked by a new government,” he stated.
Assafuah, who is also a lawyer, hinted at taking legal action in the Supreme Court on behalf of the dismissed workers.
He called on President Mahama to reconsider the decision, warning that the administration would bear responsibility for the fallout.
“The blood of these young men and women will be on your hands if you do not handle this matter properly,” Assafuah cautioned.
