The National Identification Authority (NIA) Division of the Public Services Workers Union, Trades Union Congress (TUC) Ghana, has petitioned President Akufo-Addo to demand the removal of Executive Secretary Professor Kenneth Attafuah.
The petition, dated July 1, bears the signatures of some 920 NIA staff members and indicates that “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 staff stressed that Prof. Attafuah’s continued tenure could result in further harm and reputational damage adding that they have absolutely lost trust in his administration and can no longer work with him in confidence.
According to them, dismissing the Executive Secretary would restore staff confidence and enhance the Authority’s reputation.
