forced to lay off<\/a><\/strong><\/span> some workers if the need arises.<\/p>\nWhatever the government’s plan. Mr. Karbonu believes the Health and Education sectors should be exempt from any freezes on employment or possible layoffs, given the dire need for personnel\u00a0in these sectors.<\/p>\n
“The Senior Minister should have segregated the public sector and indicated directly which part of the public sector he is referring to because I do know that the policy indicates that there are vacancies in the Ghana Health Service and the Ghana Education Service.\u201d<\/p>\n
“So are we saying that there is a ban on employment in both the Ghana Health Service and the Ghana Education Service whilst we are aware a lot of school\u2019s need teachers\u2026 if it is a general policy then I am afraid to say that a lot of classrooms will be empty and without teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n
He cautioned further that “the consequences of not having teachers to teach children are very dangerous for today and for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The New Patriotic Party trumpeted job creation en route to its 2016 election victory but statements indicating otherwise\u00a0eight months down the line are disturbing, Mr. Karbonu added.<\/p>\n
\u201cStatements like these begin to disturb people. For example, the numerous teacher trainees trained over the years and the numerous health services trainees trained over the years will get disturbed when some these statements are made.\u201d<\/p>\n
