NPP ADMINISTRATION SHOULD INVESTIGATE ALL THE NORTHERNERS AND THE EWE QUAILFICATIONS .THEY ALL FAKE SPECIALLY NDC MINORITY GROUP.THE EWES AND PEPEFOU ARE CRO-OKS.
THe Guy has been sacked alright. What happens to those who recruited him? They too must be punished. Due diligence did not take place. They fail to do proper check ups on the guy. What was the role of the Board that appointed him to that offfice. They too must come out and tell us their story.
Will the investigations going to continue in all departments and agencies or only SSNIT? Similar activities go on everywhere. Hmmm sometimes i pity myself as a Ghanaian.
Word up, Question!
I expect a lot of heads to roll in SSNIT. Who did due diligence on this guy? Why signed his employment papers. Who went through and approved his certificates and proposals? Are we also looking at all the managers at SSNIT for any culprits and any certificates they might have submitted? Due diligence must be conducted on all employees at SSNIT as well as other government agencies.
I also do not have a degree, does it mean i qualify to replace him?
These people operated with such impunity because John Mahama set a bad leadership example that mocked the presidency and no one was afraid of a president who was cheap enough to take a 2nd hand ford car as bribe.
there are many people like him in other state organisations causing worse damage!!!!
Are you telling us that if incompetent JM had been retained the damage would not have been uncovered and he would have continued to 'kill' ghana pensioners? is that the implication here? If so, we much change govt every year
Like someone said, sacking him is not enough, those who let him occupy the position have to answer for it
