[contextly_sidebar id=”m94JvaFtPlvUBgDj1cxoN30BsJIAMUws”]A statement signed by the GES Western Region Director of Education, David Afram, the GES warned the individuals in the region engaged in the illegal recruitment to desist immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Deputy Director General of Education, Mr Stephen Adu, wishes to caution Directors of education and their Human Resource Officers who are alleged to be taking money from people with the intention of facilitating their recruitment into the Ghana education Service (GES) to desist from it immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
Government in 2010, placed a ban on the recruitment of employees in the public sector as part of measures to stabilize the economy and effectively manage the public wage bill.<\/p>\n
The embargo has over the years increased the rate of unemployment in the country. The sectors which have largely been affected by the embargo are health and education.<\/p>\n
The GES\u00a0payroll, for example, has been seen to be bloated with ghost names and duplicated documents putting a strain on governments finances.<\/p>\n
Some\u00a0heads of education institutions and personnel from the Account-General\u2019s office have also been accused of engaging in shady deals that illegally drain revenue from government coffers.<\/p>\n
