Samuel Nartey George, the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, has approved the dismissal of nearly 100 employees from Ghana Post Limited, attributing it to an irregular recruitment process.
In an interview on Monday, March 25, 2025, Mr. George confirmed that he had authorized the termination of almost 100 staff members earlier in the day as part of a restructuring initiative.
“Today, I authorized the termination of nearly 100 employees at Ghana Post who were recruited after December 7. This is part of an ongoing rationalisation process, and we will continue,” he stated.
He described the staffing situation he took over as unsustainable.
“When you take over a ministry with 3,117 employees across its agencies and realize that nearly 600 were hired after December 7, you can’t simply accept such a situation and move on. It needs to be addressed,” he explained.
The minister stated that the goal of this review is to optimize the workforce and improve the efficiency of the ministry and its agencies.
The MP stressed that he is committed to “reforming the ministry to ensure it is streamlined, efficient, and able to fulfill its duties.”
