The Communications Minister, Sam George, has taken decisive action by terminating the employment of nearly 100 staff members of Ghana Post Limited.
This decision comes in response to what he described as an irregular recruitment process that occurred after the December 7, 2024, election.
Speaking to the press on Tuesday March 25, 2025, the minister explained that the affected staff were hired without adhering to proper procedures, creating inefficiencies within the ministry.
He emphasized his commitment to ensuring that the ministry operates efficiently and in line with established protocols.
“If you are a minister and you take over a ministry that has 3,117 staff in the ministry and its agencies and 600 were recruited after December 7, you cannot expect me to come and inherit such a mess, and so the rationalisation is ongoing”.
The minister further revealed that the rationalization process is part of a broader effort to streamline operations within the ministry and its agencies.
He expressed his determination to “clean up the ministry to make sure that it is lean and efficient and carries out its works.”
