Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has addressed public concerns regarding reports that several employees of the Bank of Ghana were abruptly dismissed. Speaking in Parliament and in media interviews, Ayariga clarified that the individuals in question were not permanently employed but were serving under six-month probationary contracts.
“These were individuals recruited during the final days of the previous administration,” he explained. “They were engaged on a probationary basis, not as permanent staff.”
Ayariga stressed that it is standard employment practice to evaluate probationary staff at the end of their contract period. If performance expectations are not met, the employer is under no obligation to confirm them as full-time employees.
“At the end of the six-month probation, the appointing authority decided not to continue with their services. This decision followed standard performance assessments,” he noted.
However, Ayariga revealed that, after receiving multiple appeals, the Bank of Ghana has agreed to extend the probation period by an additional six months. This extension allows the affected individuals more time to demonstrate their capabilities and potentially secure permanent positions.
“After listening to various appeals, the employer has reconsidered and extended their probation,” he added.
His clarification was intended to dispel misinformation and assure the public that the process followed was lawful and based on merit.
