In a bid to promote good governance and prevent disputes over public service appointments, Madina MP Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu has tabled a Private Member’s Bill. The proposed legislation aims to halt public service appointments after elections until the new government is sworn in.
According to Mr. Sosu, appointing people to public service positions at the eleventh hour of an outgoing administration undermines good governance. He believes that amending the law will resolve this issue and prevent unnecessary disputes.
The Bill, currently under review, seeks to end disputes over the termination of appointments of public sector workers hired after December 7, 2024. Mr. Sosu explained that once the law is clear on this matter, the issue of outgoing administrations making last-minute appointments will be resolved.
Mr. Sosu is confident that the Bill will be well-received and communicated to the public once it is finalized. As a seasoned lawmaker, he has a track record of introducing Private Member’s Bills aimed at promoting good governance and protecting the vulnerable.
