A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Madam Frances Essiam has challenged the last-minute recruitment by the NDC government into the security agencies and the public service without consulting the Transition team of President-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo.
The President-elect’s members of the Transitional Team have raised concerns with allegations of on-going recruitment into the security agencies and the public service without consultation.
According to the co-chairperson of the Transitional Team, Mr Yaw Osafo Maafo, they have come across allegations where immediately after the results of the election was declared on December 9, the out-going NDC government started converting temporary staff of political assistants and some of the staff which they took on into permanent public and civil servants.
Commenting on this on Oman Fm’s 'Today’s Agenda', Frances Essiam insisted all the new recruitments will be subject to approval of the new institution like the new Police Council as Nana Addo’s government will have to look into the coffers of the Ministry of Finance before any transaction can be made.
“Who has given them the green light to carry out appointment and recruitment, and who will be paying them? So they should halt all these things and I am appealing to the President, Mr John Dramani Mahama that Nana Addo has not taken over the administration yet so he should not create judgment debt for the incoming President and his team,” she charged.
She however warned the civil and public officers signing contracts after the elections to desist from them because there will be sanctions, describing their activities as highly illegal as Parliament is still in recess and yet to resume to look into all contracts.
She reiterated that the various boards at the ministries, agencies and departments are going to be dissolved as they are all part of the incompetent Ghanaians voted against in the December 7 polls.
The formal handing over processes from the NDC-government to that of NPP was started on Wednesday and addressing a meeting of the Transitional Team, Mr Osafo Maafo said complaints and allegations of mismanagement has come to the attention of the in-coming government's team which needs to be looked into.
“We’ve heard of the award of new contracts after the results of the election have been announced on the 9th of December.”
“We have heard from the grapevine a few things which have become our concern [In-coming government Transitional Team]. For instance, we have heard about on-going recruitment into the security services now, which we hope is not true,” he said.

Peter, there are so many factors that made YOUR NDC lose the December 7th elections. One of them is what came to be known IN GHANA as "EQUALIZATION" in our body politics. YES President Kuffour signed SSSS on his last day. WAS it a good thing? By your logic because KUFFOUR DID SOMETHING WRONG, JOHN MAHAMA MUST ALSO DO SOMETHING WRONG. YES NDC HAD BABIES WITH SHARP TEETH INSULTING ALL MANNER OF PEOPLE IN GHANA EVERY BLESSED DAY FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS ON ALL TYPES OF MEDIA, I BET YOU NPP WILL NOT DO SAME, OKAY. GHANAIANS HAVE VOTED FOR CHANGE, A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
No wonder Ghana is not going forward, are all those being hired, budgeted for? When we talk about incompetence and you people shouted, this is incompetent, how can you hire someone and you dont have the money allocated for? There should be a 3 months cut off time before election and the government of the day should be in caretaker without signing any agreement or hire until after the election. This is what most of the developing countries. Ghana should do that to avoid this mess.
JM and his NDC can do whatever they want to do but when Nana Addo and his team start ruling all those temporal made permanent will have to pack their luggage and look for other jobs..I was working with Lands Commission Kumasi and designed a software for them when NDC came into power my contract as temporal worker wasn't made permanent but was immediately sacked. My new Boss Mr. Dadson waisted all the money saved for Lands Commission by staying at Golden Tulip Hotel. NDC is bad news like it has always ruled with total corruption.
Mahama is still the president of Ghana and powers to hire and fire be the 7th Jan 2017. Arrogancy as always NPP
hmmmmmm, ***barred word*** is going on in these sectors. burning documents is the order of the era
What is that ***barred word*** frances essiam saying that they will not pay those who are recruited by NDC, is the money being used to pay for NPP thugs or for Ghana government? Are they people not the same Ghanaians you asked them to vote for you. I think you NPP people are out of your minds. Do you guys have brains at all. You think you are going to chop ghanaians money wawawa like that. Every pesewas you chop free from the sweat of ghanaians will choked you and send you all to hell.
HAHHAHAHAH WHERE WERE U HIDING. NANA HAS COME SO U ARE OUT . EII
PEOPLE, REMEMBER ATTAH MILL HALTED MILITARY RECRUITMENT IN 2008 AND EVEN SACKED COL. DAMOAH, THE THEN MAN IN CHARGE OF RECRUITMENT. SO THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH NANA TOO HALTING ANY SUCH PROCESS PERIOD.
Go and meddle in military recruitment and they would topple your government in no time. All these red flags are unnecessary. What you need to do is to build cordial relationship with the security services for them to work amicably with your government, but if you start this way, I can assure you even if they don't topple you they can easily sabotage you. It's unfortunate npp is starting this not with civil service but with the security services. This is dangerous. They going to give your official protection so to start suspecting them is not a good thing to do.
This Black Pig bad luck woman is saying that they should not employ Ghanaians or what? Ex-President Kuffour on the 6th of January,2009, signed the single spain. Ashanti blackbecareful(pig)
