Haruna Iddrisu demands end to dismissal of public workers

Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu on Sunday renewed calls for the Akufo-Addo administration to end the "harassment and dismissal of workers," saying the move is discriminatory.

The Minority Leader made demand when he addressed the the 38 anniversary of the June 4 Revolution in Wa.

He said: “There is still discrimination in this country. Today as I speak, if you go to public and civil government entity, you will hear these are NPP men, those are NDC men.

"Let this group go home. That is political discrimination. We demand an end to it. The fact you have inherited a political system that you yourself admit that has a coexistence of NPP, NDC means it existed before you got there. If you cannot do anything about it, allow the status quo.

"We demand the an end to the continuous harassment and dismissal of public and civil servants from the current administration."

On May Day, he issued a statement claiming the government was creating 'fear and panic' among workers.

“It is sad to note that elements associated with this current administration attacked public institutions, forced out workers of these institutions and in many instances physically assaulted these lawful employees all in the name of ‘political takeovers.

"This situation has created fear and panic among the Ghanaian work force and to a large extent limiting the free friendly worker environment that existed before the change of government on 7th January, 2017,” he said.
