He made this known during his vetting on February 17, 2021.
He said; “The last time we reported was in September 2020 and the figure was around three million jobs.”

But Mr Awuah explained that the handing over notes were prepared in June in line with the Transitional Provisions Act.

“If I was given the chance to update handing over notes, this would not be the figure you would have,” he added.
