President-elect John Mahama has expressed concern over reports of last-minute mass recruitments and contract signings by the outgoing government, warning that such actions could create liabilities for the incoming administration.
In an article published by the Graphic Online, former President John Dramani Mahama criticized the current government's decision to engage in last-minute mass recruitments into various public sector institutions. Mahama argued that these recruitments, which include hiring into the security services, teaching, and other public sector roles, are politically motivated and will impose a significant financial burden on the next administration. He highlighted that such actions are not only fiscally irresponsible but also undermine the principles of good governance and economic management. Mahama called for a halt to these recruitments, suggesting that they should be planned and budgeted for properly to avoid future economic strain. He emphasized the need for a transparent and merit-based recruitment process that aligns with the country's economic realities and future planning.
