The government has revoked the appointment of Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo as Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT). Additionally, the contracts of his three deputies — Kwame Adu-Darkwa (Finance and Administration), Juliana Kpedekpo (Operations and Benefits), and Nana Serwah Bonsu Amoako (Investment and Development)—have also been terminated.
No official replacements have been named yet, as President John Dramani Mahama is expected to announce new appointments in the coming days.
Osafo-Maafo was appointed in April 2024 by then-President Nana Akufo-Addo after the dismissal of Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang. His appointment led to changes in SSNIT’s leadership, including the reassignment of Pearl Nana Ama Darko, the former Deputy Director-General for Operations and Benefits, to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). She was replaced by Juliana Kpedekpo, who has now also been dismissed.
Osafo-Maafo is the son of Yaw Osafo-Maafo, a former presidential advisor in the Akufo-Addo administration.
