Indexing government scandals one at a time
Senior Minister to the Akufo-Addo government, Nana Yaw Osafo-Marfo has appointed his two sons to top government positions few months after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Nana Akufo-Addo, took over the realm of the state. The two children work at the Social Security and National Insurance Trust and the National Communications Authority as Deputy Directors.
Some reports have even accused him of specifically creating a position for his last son because ahead of his appointment, the portfolio he now occupies did not exist.
The Senior Minister’s two sons, who were not in the state employment, were placed at top executive positions, whilst the Senior Minister reportedly insisted that Akufo-Addo government does not have the capacity to employ more public servants, despite job promises to the electorates during the 2016 election campaign.
