The government has dismissed Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo from his position as Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
According to Citi News sources, the contracts of three deputy directors-general have also been revoked. The affected deputies are:
- Kwame Adu-Darkwa – Deputy Director-General, Finance and Administration
- Ms. Juliana Kpedekpo – Deputy Director-General, Operations and Benefits
- Nana Serwah Bonsu Amoako – Deputy Director-General, Investment and Development
While the government has yet to announce replacements, the decision signals a significant shake-up at SSNIT, the agency responsible for managing the pensions of Ghanaian workers.
Osafo-Maafo, the son of former Senior Minister Yaw Osafo-Maafo, was appointed in April 2024 by then-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo after the dismissal of Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang.
The reasons for the latest dismissals remain unclear, but the move suggests ongoing restructuring within key government institutions under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration.
