You should have left your ignorance in 2016.
This man you are disrespecting is definitely more important than any person whose ever been part of your family. He's probably even good looking than your dad. Typical villager.

Ghanaians should think critically about this government. Why a party that has promised to give employment to the people looking for job turned around to sack people from their job just because it was done in the last minutes? If it's really true that they going to create over 1 million job for the unemployed as they promised why sacking 11,000 workers? I don't want to think far but I can conclude that these people are just talk talk government.

Sarfo maafo and his family members are liars and crook. They think that they can use their money and power to bully people and take what doesn't belong to them. Everybody in Ghana here know that the sarfo maafos are from Akyem awisa in the eastern region but Dr. Kwakye maafo, Snr brother to sarfo maafo is now the chief of Assin nsuta in the central region. He is no where near the royal bloodline but he used his influence and money to bully the rightful owners of the stool of assin nsuta and even threatened the apparent heir to the throne and he went to exile. What Kwaakye maafo does best in that little village is selling of the stool lands for his own gain.I wish a journalist on this platform would pick this up and do more investigation so that the stool will be restored to the rightful owners so that this abuse of power in our society will be dealt with.

The Senior Minster designate should thread very cautiously on this issue let's it becomes another Apollo 568 a la Busia in 1970. Some of these recruitment may have started some
time ago and only got finalised in December as it is virtually impossible to commence and conclude a recruitment within a week I thought the Minister would review each recruitment on case by case basis according to its merit and not engage in mass dismissals which would be counter productive.

The threat to lay off workers employed in December 2016 and after reeks of Apollo 568.

Dr Busia's Progress Party, the predecessor of NPP, sacked public servants for no apparent reason when they took office in 1969/70.

Why would the Mahama admin,which had frozen public sector recruitment for so long, suddenly want to employ so many people? Public sector employment is not done on a whim. It is a process which takes time. The Mahama admin had to recruit teachers and other staff for the community day secondary schools, hospitals, airports, harbours, water works etc it had built.

Did the NPP admin want this to be left to them so they could recruit their party supporters?

How can a gov't promising job creation lay off workers who have got jobs?

Your rantings will not change anything.If the system could have supported such huge wage bill, John Mahama would have employed them long before. Why did he wait only to make huge numbers of appointments only after he had lost the elections? You can decide not to vote for NPP the rest of your life; who cares? You are right on one matter - We are talking about enterprise Ghana. Will you run your own business like John Mahama did in December? The new govt has the good will of ghanaians and the earlier those last minute appointees are sacked, the better. They should pay them any retirement benefits and that is all. Once those sacked are compensated inline with our labour laws, the issue of judgement debt will never crop up.
