Pressure group, Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG), is calling for the total overhaul of the civil service to meet the expectations of new government policies.
According to the group, some civil servants are partisan whiles others are there without merit and some purely on vested interest hence the need to get rid of them.
AFAG also mentioned that it shall embark on an institutional corruption exposure in all the ministries, government departments and agencies to help in the battle against corruption.
As the case has always been, it stated it shall continue to relentlessly assist the government in the fight against corruption.
The group implored the president elect, Nana Akufo-Addo to probe the scandals that has rocked this nation in the last eight years.
Some of these include Woyome, GYEEDA and National Service Scheme scandals, Brazil 2014 Fiasco, SADA misappropriated funds and the hundreds of scandals committed or alleged to have committed by the past administration.
AFAG further urged Nana Akufo-Addo to tackle raging issues related to basic necessities, including food, electricity, gas, water, fuel and telecommunications as he promised during his campaign.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday in Accra, the Chairman of AFAG, Dr Nana Ayew Afriye, urged Nana Akufo Addo and his government to build a robust economy to provide employment across the country especially for the teaming youth when his administration begins from 7th January, 2017.
“We expect an economy that will enable individuals to develop the skills that businesses are currently lacking and at the same time reduce unemployment which would in turn increase wellbeing and help reduce social and economic deprivation” he noted.
He stated that it is the group’s expectation to put this nation back into the path of progress.
The Member of Parliament-elect for Effigyase/Asokore further appealed to the in-coming government to take immediate steps to reduce the huge taxes on industries as a means of kick-starting businesses.
He asked Ghanaians to be careful not to be used by any group of individuals to undermine or stampede the coming government's efforts in putting the economy back in shape.
The group used the opportunity to commend His Excellency, John Dramani Mahama for his contributions to the nation.
