The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has directed the termination of close to 100 staff of the Ghana Post as part of an ongoing rationalisation exercise within the ministries and its agencies.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, he stated that the affected staff members were recruited after the December 7 election and proper procedures were not followed.

"People have raised questions about their staff rationalisation ongoing at the ministry. But if you are a minister and you take over a ministry that has 3,117 staff in the ministry and its agencies, and you realise that almost 600 of them were recruited after December 7, 2024, basically, you cannot expect me to come and inherit such mess and continue with it.

"Today, I have authorised the termination of a few more at Ghana Post, almost a hundred that were done post December 7, 2024, and we'll continue this rationalization," he stated.

The communications minister further reaffirmed his commitment to restructuring Ghana Post to improve efficiency and productivity.

"I will clean up the ministry, make sure it is lean and efficient and carries out its work," he added.
