The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has warned that the mass dismissals of government employees under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration could accelerate the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s path to opposition.
Speaking in an interview, the former Deputy Minister for Education condemned the ongoing terminations, stating that such actions could erode public trust and create widespread dissatisfaction among Ghanaians.
“The way things are going, the NDC is putting itself on the highway to opposition. You cannot simply come into power and start dismissing workers en masse without just cause,” he remarked.
Despite his strong criticism, Rev. Ntim Fordjour clarified that his primary concern was not the political consequences for the NDC, but rather the welfare of those affected by the dismissals.
For me, this is not about whether the NDC stays in power or goes into opposition. My focus is on standing in solidarity with the hardworking Ghanaians who have unfairly lost their jobs,” he emphasized.
He further urged the Mahama administration to reconsider its approach and prioritize job creation over politically motivated terminations.
“Governance should be about continuity and progress. If this government is truly committed to national development, it must stop these dismissals and focus on creating opportunities for Ghanaians,” he added.
