The Member of Parliament for Tano South Charles Asiedu has narrated how he struggled for a job after the NDC lost the 2016 elections.
According to Charles Asiedu, he and his brother were working in the private sector but lost their jobs because of their fathers’ name.
He asserted that when he applied for a job, when they saw his name as Charles Asiedu he was rejected.
Speaking in an interview on TV XYZ Charles Asiedu narrated, “In 2016, when NDC lost power, my brother Kwaku and I were not working in the government sector. We were not employed by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. We were working at the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, a private sector.
When we lost the election, up till today, my laptop is still there. People said because of the name Asiedu Nketiah, no way, we can’t work there.”
He added, “They threatened the director that if he doesn’t know and we come to the workplace again, he would be sacked from the country.”
“I had my master’s degree and was driving my father as his personal driver”.
“When I write applications for job offers…when they see my name Charles Asiedu, they claim that they cannot employ me because of my name”.
He further revealed sometimes he goes for an interview and they tell him he is overqualified but later they inform him he cannot be employed because of external influence.
“Sometimes I go for interviews, and they tell me I am overqualified, so I should come for an appointment letter. But later, I would be told that due to external influence, they cannot employ me,” Charles Asiedu added.
