A Member of the NPP’s Legal Directorate, Kingsley Amoakwa-Boadu has refuted claims that individuals employed after the December 7 elections were illegally recruited.
The legal practitioner insists that they went through due process before being hired.
Speaking on Newsfile on Mr. Amoakwa-Boadu dismissed accusations that the previous government deliberately padded state agencies with last-minute appointments before leaving office.
“Are we saying that these people were just padded into positions? How did we come to that conclusion?” he questioned on Saturday, February 22, 2025.
He explained that public sector employment follows a strict process, involving interviews, verification of qualifications, and certification by the Public Services Commission.
“Some of them are civil servants, and they had to go through interviews, background checks, and certificate verification by the relevant institutions. So how can we now claim they were just placed there unfairly?” he argued.
Mr. Amoakwa-Boadu also rejected the notion that the previous administration failed to recruit workers throughout its tenure, only to conduct mass hiring at the tail end of its term.
