Old Tafo MP calls for removal of NPRA CEO over 'reckless spending'
Vincent Ekow Assafuah, Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to remove the Chief Executive Officer of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA). He cited what he described as reckless financial management and governance breaches.
According to Mr. Assafuah, the CEO, Christopher Boadi Mensah, has allegedly overseen the expenditure of about GHS 30 million of pension contributors' funds within his first year in office through what he termed "needless sole-sourced procurements." Mr. Assafuah highlighted concerns over the rapid promotion of Rosemary Estella Opandoh, describing her progression from contract staff to a managerial role within two months as irregular and contrary to public sector norms. He stated that "This irregular progression bypasses established procedures, including performance evaluation and board-approved promotion processes."
Mr. Assafuah maintained that "In the interest of public trust and the protection of pension funds, the CEO must be removed." He warned that a "dangerous pattern" of selective disclosure and procurement practices is emerging within the Authority.
