NPP’s Nana B seeks Supreme Court ruling against public sector dismissals

Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has filed a lawsuit challenging the unlawful termination of public sector appointments for individuals employed both before and after 7 December.

Boakye is contesting a directive issued by the Chief of Staff in February (10 February), which he argues is unconstitutional and exceeds the authority of the office.

He maintains that the directive violates Article 191(b) of the 1992 Constitution, which protects public service employees from dismissal without just cause. He asserts that neither the Chief of Staff nor the President has the legal power to arbitrarily revoke appointments that were made in accordance with the law.

In his legal action, Boakye is seeking a declaration from the Supreme Court that the directive is null and void. He is also requesting an order to prevent government institutions from enforcing the directive, and to affirm that the President must adhere to constitutional protections for public sector employees.

Additionally, Boakye is requesting an order to cover legal costs.

The Attorney General, named as the defendant in the lawsuit, has 14 days from the date of service to file a response.
