Amin Adam Mocks Mahama as ‘Terminator 1’ Over Appointments Termination
The Member of Parliament for Karaga Constituency, Mohammed Amin Adam has taken on the government for the termination of appointments of public sector workers who were employed after December 7 despite promising jobs in his campaign.
According to him, the mass termination has earned President John Dramani Mahama a nickname.
“The termination of the jobs of young Ghanaians which has become synonymous with President Mahama ‘Terminator 1’ is a sign of what is yet to come.”
The lawmaker and former Finance Minister is of the firm view that the termination was orchestrated to create vacancies for the purpose of employing NDC youth.
“The Mahama administration has sacked thousands of young Ghanaians who had been properly employed by the previous administration…Sacking people from employment and replacing them later with others does not amount to job creation.”
He believes initiatives proposed by the government to create jobs for the youth in the State of the Nation Address delivered last week were ineffective and thereby its resolve to sack existing workers.
“What the people of Ghana wants are new jobs for those yet to be employed. President Mahama knows that the programmes he outlined in his statement – ‘nkoko nkitinkiti’ and the rest cannot create sustainable jobs for the Ghanaian youth, hence the resort to the termination of existing jobs for a future replacement to shore up his job numbers.”
