"The management of the National Service Scheme (NSS), has on the advice of the Minister of Education, withdrawn the National Service staff recruitment which was done in December 2016 with immediate effect.
"This decision is informed by a thorough consideration of violations of due process prior to recruitment," the statement said.
However, Mr. Kpessah Whyte in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM said, "As far as I am concerned, during our time, we followed due process to the letter and the documents are there and the new executive director and his team need to ask for them. They should go into correspondences and they should ask for all the correspondence, otherwise, I will advise the new recruits, who have been asked to stay home that if the decision is not reversed, they should take it to court, because the truth is on their side".

He added that "If anybody had raised an issue during the process of the interview or recruitment process, one would have expected that a professional Public Services Commission will first of all look into the issue and see if it has any merit. You don’t move on the basis of a mere letter from one staff and say stop the entire process. The petition that was written was to a particular staff at the Public Services Commission instead of the chairman of the Public Services Commission".
