UPDATE|Ghana, Our inherent Classist approach to Job Qualification/Hiring; the Case of Caleb Afaglo.
I wrote this piece earlier on this year about our classist approach to job qualification and hiring. And today, Caleb Afaglo, the IT head of SSNIT has been dismissed on allegations of presenting fraudulent certificates.
