Kofi Tonto Urges NPP CEOs Still at Post to Resign

A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kofi Tonto, has urged Chief Executives appointed by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to step aside willingly and honourably.

In a Facebook post, he argued that such persons should not continue holding onto the posts after a National Democratic Congress (NDC) government was elected into office.

According to him, the posts must be left for persons who believe in the vision of the NDC.

“You cannot campaign against the vision and ideas of Mahama and expect to be maintained as a CEO. Step down for those who believe in his ideas and vision. It’s that simple!”

It comes after the Managing Director of SIC Insurance, Hollistar Duah-Yentum, opposed her removal and the appointment of James Agyenim-Boateng by President John Dramani Mahama.

Reports indicate that she locked the key to her office and left with it and has filed a suit against her removal.

Per her writ, Ms. Duah-Yentumi argued about the constitutionality of the termination of her contract which was due to expire in 2028.

“Under and by virtue of the agreement the Plaintiff’s tenure as the Managing Director is for a period of four years, thus expiring on the 1st day of January 2028 or soon thereafter as may be agreed upon by the Board of Directors of the 1st Defendant and the Plaintiff.”

“The Plaintiff therefore states that all terms relating to and regarding the Plaintiff’s employment as the Managing Director of the publicly listed company such as the 1st Defendant is governed solely by the employment agreement executed by the parties,” the suit added in part.
