Chief of Staff revokes all Public Service appointments after December 7

Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has revoked all appointments and recruitments made into the Public Service after December 7, 2024.

A confidential letter, seen by Citi News, has been circulated to all heads of government institutions, instructing them to comply with the directive.

The decision is expected to affect individuals who were appointed or recruited into various public sector roles after the 2024 general elections.

While the specific reasons for the revocation have not been detailed, sources suggest it forms part of the government’s efforts to ensure fairness and transparency in the public sector transition process.

Below is the full letter

Consistent with Government pronouncement in relation to near end of tenure appointments and recruitments, I wish to bring to your attention that all appointments and recruitments made in the Public Services of Ghana after 7th December, 2024 are not in compliance with established good governance practices and principles.

Accordingly, all Heads of Government Institutions are hereby requested to take the necessary steps to annul any such appointments or recruitments and submit a comprehensive report on the actions taken to this Office by 17th February 2025.
