The Minority has likened President John Dramani Mahama to a "Terminator" over what they describe as mass dismissals of young Ghanaians from public sector jobs.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, March 3, former Minister for Finance Dr Mohammed Amin Adam accused the Mahama administration of deliberately sacking employees to create vacancies for party loyalists.
Dr Amin Adam stated that it has become a well-known fact that Mahama’s government is terminating the jobs of properly employed young Ghanaians under the guise of job creation.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it is now a notorious fact that, to create vacancies for the purpose of employing NDC youth, the Mahama administration has sacked thousands of young Ghanaians who had been properly employed by the previous administration,” he asserted.
He further criticised the approach, arguing that replacing dismissed workers with new employees does not qualify as job creation.
“The termination of the jobs of young Ghanaians, which has become synonymous with President Mahama—‘Terminator 1’—is a sign of what is yet to come. Sacking people from employment and replacing them later with others does not amount to job creation,” he remarked.
The Minority also cast doubt on the effectiveness of Mahama’s proposed job creation initiatives, dismissing them as unsustainable.https://srisabaripackersandmovers.com/contact-us/
“What the people of Ghana want are new jobs for those yet to be employed. President Mahama knows that the programmes he outlined in his statement—‘nkoko nkitinkiti’ [Chicks] and the rest—cannot create sustainable jobs for the Ghanaian youth, hence the resort to termination of existing jobs for future replacement to shore up his job numbers,” Dr Amin Adam concluded.
