“The staff and union’s decision to petition your high office for the removal of Professor Kenneth Agyemang Attafuah is grounded on unfair labour practices contrary to the labour laws and Human Resource Manual and Policy Framework for Ghana Public Services, violations of SSNIT law, poor corporate governance structure, selective and administrative injustice in the recruitment, placement and promotion of staff, and lack of innovative ideas to manage the administration of the authority,” the petition states.
The staff expressed concerns that Prof. Attafuah’s continued tenure could result in further harm and reputational damage.
“His staff have absolutely lost trust in his administration and can no longer work with him in confidence. These, coupled with infractions in the labour laws and SSNIT Acts, are enough justifications for his immediate removal from office without further delays,” the petition adds.

They believe that dismissing the Executive Secretary would restore staff confidence and enhance the Authority’s reputation.
