Former Ag. Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), Michael Kpessah-Whyte appears scandalized by actions taken by the current management of the scheme to withdraw the appointment of persons who were employed at the secretariat under his watch.
So far, 205 persons have been affected by the decision. New managers of the scheme have advised persons affected by this decision to look forward to a new opportunity to have the staff recruitment properly carried out.
In a statement signed by newly appointed Executive Director of the National Service Scheme, Ussif Mustapha, he noted that upon the advice of Minister of Education, management of NSS has withdrawn the appointment of persons who were employed at the secretariat towards the end of the erstwhile National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) government in December 2016.
Ussif Mustapha insists the former Ag. Executive Director was advised to halt the recruitment process until the matter was properly resolved. The advice was however ignored and the appointment letters were issued to some persons on 15th December, 2016.
But speaking on Radio Gold on Thursday, Mr. Kpessah-Whyte raved at the decision, noting that it is quite “devastating and frustrating” watching his successors destroy good measures he put in place.
He noted that before power was handed over to the new NPP administration, he established contacts with a point person who was part of the NPP’s transition team and briefed him about the recruitment.
According to him, under the administration of former President Mahama, the NSS suffered a dip in reputation but did everything he could to bring transparency when he took over the reins of leadership.
He continued that before the 205 persons were recruited, the NSS engaged the services of experts who interviewed the recruits before they were shortlisted.
“I am at a lost- the NPP administration is taking steps to criminalize steps taken by previous government. Ghana would suffer…” he warned.
He therefore urged the victims to hurriedly head to court and sue the NSS for the revocation of their service contracts.
“They (sacked recruits) must use the court approach as a break, to clip the recklessness of the NPP”, he noted.
He surmised that the rampant dismissal of persons from institutions belonging to government “is a shadow of worse things to come” under the new NPP’s administration.
He was emphatic that the NPP administration would run into a ditch if they fail to manage affairs of the NSS well.
“The place can create havoc for the NPP and it can make or unmake the nation”, he noted.

Charge this Whyte guy for causing financial lose to the state for doing the recruitment using an employment agency. Another NDC cr1m1nal...
The frustration of this man is that, he collected cash from the 205 he employed. He knows they will chase him for their money and he will be exposed. He is just encouraging them to go to court to divert attention. This man will be one of the first to be prosecuted. Just wait and see. In fact, I am saying this, because, I was approached by ssomeone I didn't know very well to pay some money to get my ward employed by the NSS during that time. Anyway, I refused.I thought it was illegal and immoral.
ALL OF YOU PLEASE GROW UP AND STOP THIS WITCH HUNTING. GHANA WILL BE 60 IN MATCH , THE NATION CAN NOT PROGRESS IF WE ALL DO NOT FIGHT AGAINST WITCH HUNTING. NPP, YOU MUST SHOW MATURITY, DON'T TEAR THIS NATION APART. THANKS
Mr. Whyte or odaypoo, how may did you employ when your government was in power and how many did you suddenly employ after your government lost the election? you could not employ them and could not increase their allowances but when your government lost the election you suddenly employed them and also increased their allowances astronomically even though it was not budgeted for. who is more ***barred word*** minded and wicked than you?
is this man a real doctor? he lacks integrity
Bring it on White. You create and mess and have the gust to say this?
Look who is lamenting this decision o. This wicked guy could not give people who have served as volunteers for several years the opportunity to be invited for an interview during the recruitment exercise. He could not even grant them a hearing when he together with the 'Rubber Stamp' erstwhile board were petitioned. Now he thinks has the moral right to lament. God ,please don't come now,for evil and wicked men like kpesa need more time . Why don't you hire a lawyer for them yourself. ***barred word*** guy .
Bring it on!!
This "White" or "Black" does he not know that his action in or inaction of making those appointments is rather illegal. He should prepare to defend himself in Court very soon with appointment of the special prosecutor. Look at a "criminal" like that calling NPP criminal?
WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES A LOOSING PARTY MAKES EMPLOYMENTS AND INCREASE SALARIES. SATANIC NDC .
