The government has revoked the appointment of Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo as Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
Citi News sources confirm that the contracts of his three deputies—Kwame Adu-Darkwa (Deputy Director-General, Finance and Administration), Ms. Juliana Kpedekpo (Deputy Director-General, Operations and Benefits), and Nana Serwah Bonsu Amoako (Deputy Director-General, Investment and Development)—have also been terminated.
However, no official replacements have been announced, as President John Dramani Mahama is yet to appoint a new Director-General and deputies.
Osafo-Maafo, the son of former Presidential Advisor Yaw Osafo-Maafo, was appointed in April 2024 by then-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. His appointment followed the dismissal of Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang, who was replaced alongside the resignation of then-Deputy Director-General for Finance and Administration, Michael Addo.
During Osafo-Maafo’s tenure, Pearl Nana Ama Darko, formerly Deputy Director-General for Operations and Benefits, was reassigned to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as Commissioner for Support Services, and her role was filled by Juliana Kpedekpo.
