Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah
Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah denied reports that 8 CEOs were fired by President Akufo-Addo.
"The government has not written to any CEO to retire, it is not true," said the minister who serves as the deputy of the constituency of Ofoase-Ayirebi.
The minister who was speaking in an interview on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo" with host Kwami Sefa Kayi said the government would have issued a statement to that effect.
"The government has not written to any CEO to retire. This is not true. We must be careful in our reporting. There is no such guidance for these CEOs. Only one person has been involved in such cases. They are older members, so it is not surprising that anyone comes to tell us such stories, but like this morning; no such order has been given, "he said.
In a spirit of combating false information, he urged the media to verify any information made available to them before making it public.
