Some unemployed graduate nurses and midwives from the Ashanti Regional Capital, Kumasi, have protested a delay in granting financial clearance for their permanent job placements.
The angry graduate nurses took to the streets on Monday to demonstrate.
The nurses are graduates from the 2020, 2021, and 2022 batches.
They graduated from various public universities and nursing training colleges.
According to some of them, they have decided to seek alternative job opportunities due to the delay in their postings.
Haruna Ibrahim, President of the Graduate Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association, stated that despite multiple attempts to have them posted, no results have been achieved.
He alleged that those who had been given financial clearance and posted had to pay bribes.
“The feedback we always get is very soon. When we had the first demonstration in Tamale, we were told that the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance were meeting to discuss our clearance. The next day we saw a release from the Ministry of Health addressing what we described as ghost officials at the Ministry of Health.
At MoH and MoF, we think that there are people who are giving financial clearance and postings to some of our colleagues who can afford between 5000 and 10000. Immediately they pay, they get posted.”
