There is too much political interference in the management of SSNIT.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The analyst pointed to recent events within SSNIT, particularly the sudden removal of the Director-General. \u201cOnly recently a Director-General was given the marching orders. The tone of the letter that asked him to go home clearly indicates that something was terribly wrong, and that thing will forever haunt him and his credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Replacement of Director-General\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abloso highlighted inconsistencies in the handling of the Director-General\u2019s replacement, citing discrepancies between the initial dismissal letter and subsequent actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were then told quickly that he has done nothing wrong. But the letter that sent him home, the first paragraph made reference to the appointment letter by the Public Services Commission. But in announcing the replacement, we didn\u2019t see the Public Services Commission involved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-9ecfd621844679ddb75e9e99f6cb2d45 ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:400px; height:400px; max-height:400px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"Youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f2-SBLvMwBo?feature=oembed&color=red&rel=0&controls=1&start=&end=&fs=0&iv_load_policy=0&autoplay=0&mute=0&modestbranding=0&cc_load_policy=1&playsinline=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen referrerpolicy=\"origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Abloso criticized the appointment of a Deputy Director-General with alleged ties to past controversial projects. \u201cYou pushed him, a deputy Director-General who not too long ago was signing papers for a certain AGYAPA project even whilst he was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/news\/osafo-maafos-son-is-new-director-general-of-ssnit\/\">Deputy Director-General<\/a>&nbsp;and hasn\u2019t resigned from SSNIT,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The analyst underscored the detrimental impact of political interference on SSNIT\u2019s operations and urged the labor force to take notice. \u201cPolitical interference has been the pain of SSNIT. The labor force should be more than disturbed,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abloso also drew attention to historical concerns over SSNIT\u2019s regulations, referencing previous audits and recommendations for prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese worrying regulations have also been sighted before in 2021. There was a forensic audit of SSNIT commissioned by Yaw Osafo-Maafo, then Finance Minister, and it was conducted by Deloitte Worldwide Investment and other consultants,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In light of these revelations, Abloso stressed the importance of accountability and transparency in SSNIT\u2019s management, urging stakeholders to address the systemic issues plaguing the institution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Labour Analyst, Seth Abloso, has raised concerns over the controversy surrounding sustainability of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
