Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), has been relieved of his duties.
Prof. Opoku-Amankwa was appointed on secondment from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in January 2021.
Even though His contract was extended again in June 2021, the presidency said the extension was in contravention of the Human Resource Policy Framework and manual of the Public Services Commission as it purports to extend your secondment beyond the 3-year maximum limit.
The letter from the Presidency signed by Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante, further explained that Professor Amankwa’s expertise and skills were no longer needed at the ministry hence his sacking
“The Ministry of Education has informed this Office that the exigencies that required your skills and expertise as Director-General of the Ghana Education Service do not exist any longer”, the letter said
