Minister of Transport, Mr. Joseph Bukari Nikpe, has directed the Director-General of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), Brigadier-General Paul Seidu Tanye-Kulono, to investigate allegations of unjustified staff promotions within the Authority. Apexnewsgh reports
During a courtesy visit to GPHA, Mr. Nikpe emphasized that promotions should be based on merit and fairness, rather than political affiliations. He stressed that GPHA is a business entity and should operate with professionalism and efficiency, rather than allowing political considerations to influence its internal decisions.
“The port is a business hub, and all decisions made must reflect that reality. Promotions should be fair and justified, not politically motivated,” the Minister stated. Mr. Nikpe’s directive is a clear indication of the government’s commitment to ensuring that state institutions operate with integrity and transparency.
In response, Brigadier-General Tanye-Kulono assured the Minister that he had already begun reviewing the promotions process, adding that any irregular advancements found would be reversed accordingly.
This move is expected to restore transparency and integrity within GPHA’s human resource management, ensuring that promotions are granted equitably and based on competence.
The investigation is a welcome development, as it aims to address concerns about unfair promotions and ensure that the GPHA operates in a professional and efficient manner. As Mr. Nikpe noted, the port is a business hub, and decisions made must reflect that reality.
