Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has refuted claims that the government has imposed a freeze on public sector employment, assuring Ghanaians that recruitment remains active.
Addressing concerns over job availability, Dr. Forson stated unequivocally, “There is no freeze on employment,” adding that hiring would continue based on the country’s economic priorities.
