The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has undergone a major leadership shake-up, with President John Mahama appointing Kwasi Afreh Biney as the new Director-General.
His appointment comes following the dismissal of Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo, who had held the position since April 2024.
Alongside Biney’s appointment, Adam Sulley has been named Deputy Director-General in charge of Operations and Benefits.
Following this development, the government has terminated the contracts of three deputy director-generals.
The affected officials include:
- 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
In 2023, former President Nana Akufo-Addo removed Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang as Director-General and appointed Osafo-Maafo in his place.
Osafo-Maafo’s tenure saw internal resignations, including Michael Addo, who left his role as Deputy Director-General for Finance and Administration.
His appointment also led to the reassignment of Pearl Nana Ama Darko from SSNIT to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
