They should go and make way for new persons to work.
RESET IS WORKING- MAHAMA HAS IMPLEMENTED THE BEST SYSTEMS TO MAKE THE COUNTRY ACHIEVE DEVELOPMENTS:
WHY DID WE VOTE MAHAMA OUT OF OFFICE 2016? SEE HOW AKUFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA MESSED UP GHANA:
Maybe there's some information available to thr president that's not in the public domain. Some of these retirees are still strong enough to work and have knowledge and experience that's unparalleled and still needed despite ...

They can be hired as private consultants to train the young ones instead of occupying positions that are meant for qualified subordinates. Thank you
Exactly.
Especially in the health and education fields. There are surgeries and situations that only the most experienced can handle
Did you read well. Government appointments. A surgeons is a surgeon.
The old must go, so the young can grow.
Any supposedly skilled and knowledgeable retiree who did not pass down those virtues to his subordinates cannot be considered as a knowledgeable worthwhile person who should be reappointed. Every organization needs new ideas ...

APPLAUSE FOR PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA- SO FAR SO GOOD: YOU ARE ON COURSE TO SUCCESS: GREAT POLICIES
Enact a law passed by the GH parliament to make this effort effective and legal. This directive could be flouted by any other government that comes to power later on. But it’s hoped that talented retirees could be consulted ...

The RESET is on and spreading far and wide. President Mahama, piiiiiaaaaawwwww!!!
That's good move, Mr. President! But, that won't be complete until you sack all ministers, deputy ministers, government appointees, etc who are over 60 years old. Politicians are not a special breed of people
Well said they should give room to the youth
Then we must first pension them from being in active campaign politics.
Scammer john Mahama, the gonja mafia has nothing new nor good for the nation.
Gonja mafia John Mahama and Isaac Adongo call Nana Addo A. Mafia. Was that tribalism? Answer before you... Is Gonja mafia Malam yohane Mahama tr ...

Why are you so bitter? What has all these raving and ranting got to do with this article? Over 50% of Ghanaian voters have given the president the mandate to govern. Please let him be. Leave him alone to do what he promised t ...

MAHAMA is being stupid. He said there is 24 hour economy. In this case more workers will be needed. Why is he sacking people? Mpepefuor agyimi paa.
@Kwasi In Europe, villager in Europe, wo na we gyimi paa.You think it is proper for spent old men to still be working after we have trained young men and women to take over from them.Kwasia
Even being in Europe still couldn't make you civilised?

You have a very low I Q .Younger graduates are there to be employed, so there is no shortage of manpower in Ghana. In Nigeria, the retirement age is 55 years.
Very unfortunate people like u even have the chance to be in Europe.Yet still,sense no reach u.
Good move. What happens to those already on contract? Will they be suspended or allowed to run to the end?
Come to COCOBOD, the retirees are back and controlling the top management with disrespect.
Then he himself should also go. Isn’t he 66 years old.
How old was Akufo Monkey Addo?
This is a very good move and I think many young men and women will be happy since this will give them the chance to upgrade and serve their country in high positions
All those on retirement contract should also go home. These things are becoming a nuisance.
GES is full of retired Directors for every sector.
If those on "contract" are leaving then what must the "illegal entrants and occupants" do . Ajakpa and NIB team must be awake to throw them out of offices,the moment every Ghanaian has been waiting for.
Such things are all over the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development
That's a great and bold move. Mr Mahama so far so good. But please try to enforce it. This President is really working for the country.
The Go ja Bull is on the right path. I only hope 60 yrs plus politicians are also retired from drawing money directly from the public purse.
Does it mean Mahama would sack kofi Boakye? He is a retired police officer. Can someone explain better for me. Thanks
Ghana is indeed working again
How come the letter is not addressed to any body?
This action of our president is meaningless until it's extended to the political class. The elderly ought to retire to pave way for the youth
And what about the retirees that your appointees such as the new EPA boss has just recruited? Are you going to sack them? You waited to bring your own party faithful who are on retirement before making this rule. Jokers.
If ...

The president is past 60 years, anaaa? Okay, how old is the president? I rest my case!
Will you retire IGP Yohuno in December?
So your highly rated IGP is retiring on 14 Dec 2025. The waters will be tested papaaapa. I rest my case
Old people in Ghana refuse to retire!
Apt Reset
IDIOT PRES. JOHN MAHAMA, YOU ARE OVER PENSION AGE (66 YRS) AND STILL IN OFFICE . WHY DONT YOU RETIRE YOURSELF TO SET EXAMPLE? YOU.
GO AND SEE IN EUROPE AND AMERICA, 70 YEARS OLD ARE BEG TO WORK PROVIDED THE PERSON IS FIT
What are Nathan Kofi Boakye, Callistus Mahama, Alban Sumani Bagbin, Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang and yourself doing in government? Package your things and go home, you are all over 60 years.
Simplicita
The president himself was retired but is back in office. Please comment on this issue, no insults.Thanks.
Very wise directive from the President. Great leadership indeed.
Over to you IGP, you said you have been in the police service for over 40 years
That should apply to politicians and their criminal gangs.
In fact President Mahama is on top of issues. You are indeed resetting Ghana.
Ghana is working under you, this is one of your many best decisions.
Good one there!!! That's a very good policy
The best decision ever
The second coming of Mahama is full of blessings for the youth
I salute you Mr. President
A 66-year old President suspending post-retirement contract appointments. What a paradox.
Hard working President Mahama is RESETTING GHANA!!!!!
Sack them and open recruitment portals for the young unemployed Ghanaians. There are a lot of Nigerians in our public sector as well. Ghanaians first.
This is a great policy direction. They should go and rest.
Mahama is really doing what Ghanaians want. Let the retirees go and let the young grow. NPP egu!
Well done Mr president.They must give way to the younger once.Those retirees in public service make sure they employe their children knees brothers sisters and all their family members before they go home and most of them are ...

Good move by all standards.
Let the rerire go for the young ones to get employment. John Mahama is resetting mother Ghana
It should have been Pre - retirement and Post retirement contracts rather than post retirement only. Some people request the contracts pre retirement and stay on above the retirement age. This is the common practice in the pu ...
