Anti-graft group asks Presidency to investigate protocol employment

The Bureau for Internal Affairs (BIA), an anti-graft organisation, has asked the Executive to investigate allegations about protocol recruitment of staff at Ghana Revenue Authority.

A statement issued by Mr Godfred Nkrumah, Co-ordinating Director of BIA clamed on Wednesday that the alleged protocol employment is causing tension among the workers.

It said the procedure of employment into the public sector is that advertisements are placed in the media inviting applications for some positions before protocol consideration becomes an option.

The statement said at the time when there is a freeze on employment in the public sector, allegations purporting that the protocol employment is coming from the Presidency is quite disturbing,

“BIA is therefore calling on the authorities to investigate the issue before it degenerates into a full blown scandal.”
