How did you know? Was any of them wrongfully sacked? Did his explanation not make sense? If you find any fault, why not go to the court like your hopeless party of very dishonest people always said. Wisdom left your tribe long ago but most, like you, were too hard hit. You always took this country for a joke but things will have to be put in their proper places. The akans failed so the ntafoò and ewes will do it. Shame on fool like you. You give your tribe a bad name all the time

It's always good to have animals like you commenting foolishly for your NPP party like you are doing here right now. This way, it becomes much easier convincing people that ,indeed your NPP party is full of reckless animals

Moron, be in your dirty rat hole spewing filth, and let the government do it's job!

Imagine this: Ken Agyapong was on TV bragging about arm-twisting the Police Administration to give him 1000 slots for his friends and family behind the scenes, then later asking the Ghana Armed Forces to do the same, and when they refused, he attacked their Public Relations officer! That same twisted-mind Agyapong confessed to always asking former President Kufuor to give jobs to those he recommended.

Now, if you calculated Kufuor's eight years, and Nana Addo's eight years that he was virtually the president, the amount of unqualified people he alone pushed into the system must have gone beyond 20,000! Do you realize the damage he did to Ghana, you arsehole?

If 90% of those sacked have Akan names is only because 100% of those dubious last minute recruits, have Akan names.
So it makes perfect sense that those sacked have Akan names

If you paid money for recruitment, it means you are corrupt in the first place. Why will an out-going Govt engage in recruitment if it wasn't corrupt..

Come to Kumasi Regional Fire Service Station at Chirapatre and see newly recruited fire officers. Passing by yesterday morning around 8am I saw them on parade and the number is certainly no less than 200-300 personnel. When I asked one officer he said they are the new recruits for Ashanti Region. I just hope all of them are genuinely recruited into the service, but not the issual political recruitment by the new govt. And come to think of it we were told during the Kejetia fire outbreak recently that Ashanti Regional fire service has less than 10 functional fire tenders, so how effective would these new recruits would be if the tools to work with are not provided.

When you attempt to steak and cheat and are caught, do you get a refund? Poverty will kill you. Who takes money for recruitment in our security? You've paid bribes all your life. Ask then to go the people they paid the monies to for their refund. If they get their refund, they can take the people to court

Whenever I see round and even numbers in a report it most likely is an estimate. As seen by the article 500, 320 etc none of the numbers is an odd number. This is just an observation and not an indictment on the article.

Is the government planning to provide social benefits or alternative employment opportunities for individuals with diabetes who have been dismissed from their jobs? Reasonable accommodations should be prioritized to support employees with medical conditions rather than resorting to termination. Dismissing individuals due to their health conditions seems unjust and counterproductive.

Please start killing armed robbers. I wish Mahama will sign a decree on death by firing squad for armed robbers. J.J. Rawlings was a good president for that.

So you don't have diabetes in the service? Couldn't they go through the training because of their medical condition. If the officer is identified as not capable of enduring, that is when these red flags are flushed out.
