The Transition Team of President-elect John Dramani Mahama has issued a stern warning to the outgoing government over alleged last-minute recruitments, payments, and promotions.
In a press statement released on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, the team expressed concern that, despite prior agreements, the outgoing NPP administration continues to make decisions without consulting the Joint Transition Team.
The statement, signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, spokesperson for the Mahama Transition Team, emphasized that during a meeting on Friday, December 13, 2024, both sides had agreed to clear all such actions with the Joint Transition Team.
However, the Mahama team claims the NPP government has failed to honor this agreement, prompting serious concerns.
Describing these actions as being carried out in bad faith, the statement warned public officials involved in these decisions of strict accountability.
It further stated that any recruitments, transfers, or promotions—including those allegedly backdated—will be reversed once the formal transfer of power takes place.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all public officials are strongly cautioned to resist pressure from outgoing political actors to engage in these acts as they could attract severe consequences when the new government takes office,” the statement read.
