The Penyman Foundation has petitioned President John Dramani Mahama, through Hon. P.C. Appiah-Ofori, a former Member of Parliament, to reinstate appointments and recruitments made by the previous administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The petition, submitted by the foundation's CEO, Mr. Eric Kwesi Taylor, argues that the revocation of these appointments has caused distress, hardship, and threats to the livelihoods of affected individuals.
According to the petition, the incumbent administration's decision to annul these appointments in January 2025 has undermined the careers of innocent professionals who have worked diligently to acquire their academic qualifications and skills in service to Ghana.
The petitioners believe that these individuals deserve fair treatment under the law and that their removal threatens the principles of inclusivity and equal opportunity in public service.
The Penyman Foundation is appealing to Hon. P.C. Appiah-Ofori to intervene in this matter, given his commitment to good governance, accountability, and the fight against corruption.
"We hold the view that these affected individuals are innocent professionals who have worked diligently to acquire their academic qualifications and skills in service to Ghana," the petition states.
The foundation hopes that a review of this decision, with a focus on fairness and national solidarity, will foster goodwill and strengthen the fabric of Ghana's democracy.
The petition has been copied to all media houses, and the foundation remains hopeful that their plea will be given due attention and that corrective measures will be taken to ensure that justice is served.
The development has sparked widespread debate, with many calling for a review of the decision to revoke the appointments. Others have expressed concern about the impact of the decision on the affected individuals and their families.
As the debate continues, the Penyman Foundation remains committed to advocating for the rights of the affected individuals and promoting fairness and justice in Ghana's public service.
The foundation's efforts have been praised by many, who see the petition as a step in the right direction towards promoting accountability and transparency in government.
However, others have raised concerns about the potential implications of reinstating the revoked appointments, arguing that it could undermine the authority of the current administration.
Despite these concerns, the Penyman Foundation remains resolute in its commitment to advocating for the rights of the affected individuals and promoting fairness and justice in Ghana's public service.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the Penyman Foundation's petition has sparked a national conversation about the importance of fairness, accountability, and transparency in government
