President Akufo Addo

President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Danqua Akufo Addo has dismissed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital Dr. Felix Anyaa and five others.

Dr. Anyaa was supposedly not approved by the Public Services Commission after he interviewed for the job.

The dismissal comes in the wake of the seeming wave of dismissals of Chief Executives of state agencies by President Akufo-Addo.

Already, the Managing Director of the Bulk Oil and Storage Transport (BOST) Alfred Obeng Boateng, CEO of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority Gifty Klenam, her two deputies and the MD of the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority Paul Ansah have all been sacked in a action by the President on the same day.

The move is seen as part of efforts by President Akufo Addo to rid government agencies of what seems to be a cycle of boardroom wrangling between chief executives of state agencies and their boards.
