PNC To Set Up Bodies To Hire And Fire – Ayariga
The flag bearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Mr Mahama Ayariga has stated that Ghanaian technocrats and experts from various fields will be in charge of the hiring and firing of board members and heads of state institutions.
This innovation, which will be one of the means through which the PNC will offer transparent leadership if it gets the nod in this year’s elections, is to insulate such state agencies from unnecessary governmental control and ensure that they undertake their functions without fear or favour to engender the necessary development.Mr Ayariga who was speaking to the Daily Graphic about some of the party’s policies in the PNC manifesto which would be unveiled soon explained that, “ we want to establish an era where the police can move in and arrest a minister of state for offending the law”.
He noted that although the Transition Law would deal with aspects of such appointments he believed that if the Ghanaian professional knew that he would not be sacked for taking appropriate decisions, he would not be looking over his shoulders after the transition of his government.
According to him institutions such as the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), Ghana Police Service, Ghana Revenue Authority, Public Utilities Regulating Commission (PURC), boards of various governmental institutions were being manned by well trained and professional personnel comparable to their colleagues in other parts of the developed world.
He said most of these state institutions were not performing well because either some of them were being manned by politically minded people or some were working under governmental interference.
