The National Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye has filed a lawsuit challenging the unlawful termination of appointments for individuals employed both before and after December 7, 2025. 

Nana Boakye argued that the directive is unconstitutional and exceeds the authority of the Chief of Staff, who issued the order on February 10, 2025.

Mr Boakye contended that the directive violates Article 191(b) of the 1992 Constitution, which protects public service employees from dismissal without just cause.

He maintains that neither the Chief of Staff nor the President has the power to arbitrarily revoke legally sanctioned appointments.

As part of his reliefs, Mr Boakye is asking the Supreme Court to declare the directive null and void, prevent government institutions from enforcing it, and affirm that the President is bound to uphold constitutional protections for public sector employees.

He is also seeking an order to cover legal costs.

The Attorney General, who has been named as the defendant, has fourteen (14) days from the date of service to file a response to the lawsuit.
