The Presidency has provided clarification on the dismissal of Dr. John Ofori-Tenkorang as the Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
In a statement released on Saturday, April 13, Eugene Arhin, the Director of Communications at the Presidency, explained that Dr. Ofori-Tenkorang’s dismissal was not a result of misconduct or malfeasance.
On Monday, April 8, President Akufo-Addo terminated Dr. Ofori Tenkorang’s tenure as the Director-General of SSNIT. He has been instructed to transfer his responsibilities to Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo by Monday, April 15.
Contrary to rumors suggesting misconduct as the reason for his dismissal, the Presidency asserts that Dr. Ofori-Tenkorang’s departure is part of the ongoing restructuring initiated by President Akufo-Addo.
The Presidency also noted that President Akufo-Addo is pleased with Dr. Ofori-Tenkorang’s performance, as the institution experienced significant transformation under his leadership.
