He asserts that the directive, issued by the Chief of Staff on February 10, 2025, exceeds legal authority and breaches constitutional provisions.

Mr Boakye references Article 191(b) of the 1992 Constitution, which safeguards public service workers from unjust termination, emphasizing that the dismissals lack due process.

He maintains that neither the Chief of Staff nor the President possesses the legal mandate to unilaterally revoke legitimate appointments.

In his petition to the Supreme Court, Boakye is seeking a declaration that renders the directive invalid, an injunction against its enforcement, and confirmation of constitutional job security for public sector employees. Additionally, he is requesting an order for the government to cover litigation costs.
