Gyampo Plans to Sue After Unauthorised Recruitment and Extravagant Trip Allegations

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers’ Authority, Professor Ransford Gyampo, says his lawyers have begun legal processes against individuals behind recent allegations levelled against him in relation to his political appointment.

He has been accused of recruiting 28 women and two men as well as booking expensive flights for trips.

However, in a statement, he stated that the allegations are baseless and politically motivated.

“My Lawyers and other lawyers I don’t even know, have taken over the matter and would deal with the individuals behind the baseless allegations, this week.”

“All must also be assured that baseless allegations have never been enough to silence me. I would remain myself and would always speak my mind on every national issue while focusing on my core job of championing the interest of shippers forcefully and proactively.”

Prof Gyampo explained that recruitment at the GSA was not his responsibility but the reserve of a private outsourced agency that follows a rigorous selection process.

On the issue of travel, he said he has over 38 travel opportunities of which 4 have been honoured with the express approval and permission from the Chief of Staff since he took office.

Additionally, he denied travelling in First Class or Business class.

“I remain the only CEO in Ghana who travels on ECONOMY TICKET. Again the evidence of my boarding passes for all the four trips is there.”

He pledged to uphold high standards in line with his duty and the confidence reposed in him by the public, adding, “I won’t do anything to betray the trust reposed in me.”
