President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has relieved the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), Gifty Klenam, of her duties, Peacefmonline.com can confirm.
The former Member of Parliament (MP) for Lower West Akyem was sacked along with her two deputies.
Whiles it is not too clear the reasons for their dismissals, earlier last week, the media including Peacefmonline, reported that the embattled CEO and one of her deputies, Eric Amoako Twum, are allegedly involved in massive mismanagement of funds belonging to the authority.
According to the publication, Madam Klenam and her deputy have collected $132,000 or GH¢580,800 for house rent, covering a period of two years in gross violation of state procurement laws.
Meanwhile, Peacefmonline.com sources at the Presidency say the Managing Director of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transport Company, Alfred Obeng Boateng, has also been sacked.
A letter signed by the Executive Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante said Mr Obeng has until Friday, June 8, to hand over to one George Mensah Okley.
Mr. Obeng Boateng’s reign as BOST Managing Director has been dogged by one controversy and another relating to the sale of contaminated fuel to some private organisations.
He was, however, cleared by Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), according to Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko who had set up a committee to investigate the sale.
Mr. Obeng’s dismissal was part of some major announcements made Wednesday by the Presidency following the termination of the appointment of Managing Director of Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, Paul Asare Ansah and the CEO of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Felix Anyah.
Peacefmonline is also reliable informed that another shakeup is likely to hit the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) within a few hours.
Sources say the radical reorganisation is part of efforts by President Nana Akufo-Addo to restructure the public sector.

Evene in Amerika, who rents a house for $132,000 for two years? Just that Anas did not investigate her, else should would have been caught. It it were her own money, would she rent a house for that amount? She forgot the case of Mr Lamptey, former NCCE Boss. Ghanaians never learn. Now she has to refund the money to the state since she is no longer in office.
