President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Kwasi Afreh Biney as the new Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
His appointment comes after the dismissal of Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo, who had been Director-General since April 2024.
Adam Sulley has also been named the Deputy Director-General responsible for Operations and Benefits to assist Kwasi Afreh Biney achieve his mandate.
These changes come alongside the termination of contracts for three deputy director-generals, signaling a broader restructuring within SSNIT.
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
This reshuffle is the latest in a series of leadership changes at SSNIT. Just last year, former president Nana Akufo-Addo removed Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang as Director-General, appointing Osafo-Maafo in his place.
Osafo-Maafo’s tenure was marked by internal resignations, including the exit of Michael Addo, then Deputy Director-General for Finance and Administration. His appointment also resulted in the reassignment of Pearl Nana Ama Darko from SSNIT to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
