Due processes were followed for recruitments; be patient and review documents – Obour to Sam George

Former Managing Director (MD) of Ghana Post Company Limited, Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour, has urged Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George to exercise patience in the dismissal of workers at Ghana Post.

Sam George on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 authorised the dismissal of over one hundred workers at the Ghana Post with reason that these appointments were made after the December 7, 2024 elections.

However, Obour contends that due processes were followed during recruitment for these individuals and that while he served as MD, no appointment was made after December 7.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show on Wednesday, March 26, he explained that the last appointment letters were issued for new recruits to commence work on December 9, 2024 by which he said medicals and interviews had already been conducted in November 2024.

“I am very sure if he exercises patience and look through the recruitment because if you say you are using the date of appointment letter in December and I think that for the appointment letters, the last one came in on December 9.

‘So if because of the appointment letter you think that right after election and the person was employed, (it’s not true)… Those people had already done medicals in November and Ghana Post had distributed letters that they had been offered employment.

“So if he exercises a bit of patient, he will realize that these are not recruitments made after December 7 elections, no,” he clarified.

He insisted that the records available at the Ghana Post will indicate that due diligence was followed in these recruitments.

“If he requests for the document, their interview reports are there for everybody who was recruited. If you don’t do these things, you cannot be recruited at Ghana Post…if you don’t do these things your recruitment at Ghana Post will not be successful…the due processes were followed,” he added.
