Media rumors indicating impending Service layoffs have been refuted by the Office of the Head of the Local Government Service (LGS).
There have been several rumors that the Service intends to fire administrative officials because the industry is overstaffed.
Both the description and the content of the aforementioned publication, according to a statement from the Office of the Head of the Local Government Service (OHLGS) and signed by the Chief Director, James Oppong-Mensah, “is not factual and entirely deceptive.”
According to the statement, the reports attributed to the Head of Service in a speech read on his behalf recently only meant a “staff rationalization which is a human resource management tool for internally deploying staff to places where their services are most needed; and this is in line with systems and procedures the Public Service works with.”
The statement further asked the general public to disregard the said publication and treat it with the contempt it deserves.
