Kwesi Afreh Biney Appointed as SSNIT Director-General

President John Mahama has appointed Kwesi Afreh Biney as the new Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), with Adam Sulley assuming the role of Deputy Director-General in charge of Operations and Benefits.

These appointments follow the dismissal of Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo as SSNIT Director-General, along with the termination of contracts for three of his deputies:

• Kwame Adu-Darkwa – Deputy Director-General, Finance and Administration
• Juliana Kpedekpo – Deputy Director-General, Operations and Benefits
• Nana Serwah Bonsu Amoako – Deputy Director-General, Investment and Development

This leadership change comes after a series of restructuring moves at SSNIT. In April 2024, then-President Nana Akufo-Addo removed Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang and replaced him with Osafo-Maafo. His tenure saw the resignation of Deputy Director-General for Finance and Administration, Michael Addo, and the reassignment of Pearl Nana Ama Darko to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as Commissioner for Support Services.

With Juliana Kpedekpo now among those dismissed, President Mahama is expected to continue reshuffling SSNIT’s leadership.
