The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has dismissed claims that the government has imposed a freeze on public sector employment, assuring that recruitment into key sectors will continue.

Speaking in an interview with Channel One TV on Wednesday, March 12, Dr Forson refuted speculation that the government had halted new hires, describing such reports as unfounded.

"There is no freeze on employment," he stated emphatically, reassuring Ghanaians that job opportunities in the public sector remain open based on economic needs.

Dr Forson further emphasised that the government remains committed to job creation, particularly for the youth, and will continue to improve employment conditions across various sectors.

The clarification also signals the government's commitment to sustaining essential public services by ensuring that critical sectors such as health and education receive the necessary personnel.

His reassurance aligns with the government’s broader economic strategy of strengthening Ghana’s workforce and promoting sustainable growth.
