Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George, has terminated the appointments of all National Communications Authority (NCA) regional managers appointed under the Akufo-Addo Government in 2017.
This decision has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the motivations behind the move.
According to sources, the sacked regional managers were appointed through a rigorous process, involving interviews conducted by the Public Services Commission.
The move has been criticized, with many arguing that it politicizes public service roles.
The terminated staff were hired based on merit, and their appointments were not deemed political.
In a related development, Sam George has also instructed the termination of appointments of 16 staff members at the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GiFEC).
These staff were hired through a similar process, involving interviews conducted by the Public Services Commission.
The decision has sparked outrage, with many questioning the fairness of the move.
The action has also raised concerns about the politicization of public service roles, with many fearing that future governments may adopt a similar approach.
The opposition New Patriotic Party, NPP, has condemned the move, with many arguing that it is a clear case of political victimization.
The development has sparked a heated debate, with many calling for the minister to reconsider his decision.
