The Minority Caucus has expressed serious concerns over what it describes as partisan governance, including mass dismissals of public servants, selective prosecution, and discrimination in contractor payments.
The concerns were outlined in a press statement signed by Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh following a meeting with President John Dramani Mahama on Monday, December 22, 2025.
The statement highlighted “profound concern” over the dismissal of approximately 2,802 public servants through directives from the Office of the Chief of Staff, describing the action as “a direct assault on the constitutional principle of an independent and professional civil service.”
Citing Ghana Statistical Service data indicating that about 1.3 million young people are unemployed, the Minority urged the President to halt the dismissals immediately and institute a fair, transparent review process.
“Ghana’s civil service must serve the state, not any governing party,” the statement stressed.
On justice delivery, the Caucus accused the government of selective investigations, including the imposition of punitive bail conditions on New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials, while cases involving former National Democratic Congress (NDC) officials are discontinued through nolle prosequi.
The Minority also alleged partisan discrimination in contractor payments, warning that denying payments to contractors perceived to be NPP-leaning is “weaponising the economy, destroying jobs, and pushing viable businesses towards collapse.”
