Charles Owusu is the Assistant Director General of the Forestry Commission
Charles Owusu, Assistant Director General of the Forestry Commission, said his boss had been very successful in the commission and hoped his heir would continue his work.
According to Charles Owusu, it is "unfortunate" to ask his boss to retire, but was quick to congratulate the president for this opportunity.
He noted that under the direction of the commission, Mr. Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie had supervised the planting of more than 10,000 trees throughout the country and other "appropriate" structures presented by the commission.
"This had never happened before at the commission," he said in an interview on the morning show of Ghana's NEAT FM group, "Ghana Montie".
Charles Owusu's comments come after about eight CEOs [CEOs] including his boss, who heads government institutions, were asked to leave by March 2019.
The eight CEOs have long since pbaded the mandatory retirement age of 60, hence the directive to hand them over to their deputies in the meantime.
The Civil Service Act requires public officials to retire after reaching the age of 60.
However, the law allows an extension of about five years if the president so wishes.
The eight members, including the director general of the Forestry Commission, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, better known as Sir John, 65, are expected to be replaced in the coming months.
Other CEOs involved include:
Eugene Ofosuhene, 67 – Controller and General Accountant
Kofi Jumah, 68 – CEO of Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation (GIHOC)
Isaac Osei, 67 – CEO of Tema Petroleum Refinery (TOR)
Kwame Owusu, 67 – CEO of the Ghana Maritime Authority
Anthony Nsiah-Asare, 65 – Director General, Ghana Health Service
Samuel Annor, 64 – CEO, National Health Insurance Authority
K. K Sarpong, 65 – CEO, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC)
