General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has asked all Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Director Generals of public corporations appointed by previous administrations but were sacked by President Akufo-Addo upon the latter’s assumption of office, to return to post.
He says the party welcomes the decision in a recent ruling by the Supreme Court in which the court held unanimously that it is unconstitutional and therefore null and void, for the government of President Akufo-Addo to remove from office, all chief executive officers and Director-Generals of public corporations appointed by previous administrations.
Speaking in an interview on Okay Fm’s Ade Akye Abia Programme, he explained that the Court has clarified the constitutional position vis-a-vis the provisions of the Presidential Transition Act.
“I am advising all such categories of chief executive officers and Director-Generals who were so affected to take appropriate steps to vindicate their rights in the appropriate fora….
“If I was a dismissed chief executive officer or Director-General, I would have gone back to occupy my position without any hesitation because the supreme court has made the appropriate interpretation on the matter,” he told Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie, host of the show.
