President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has began a massive shake up in some top government institutions in the country.

President Akufo-Addo ordered the Managing Director of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transport Company, Alfred Obeng Boateng, to step down from his position.

A letter signed by the Executive Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante said Mr Obeng has until Friday, June 8, to hand over to one George Mensah Okley.

Mr. Obeng Boateng’s reign as BOST Managing Director has been dogged by one controversy and another relating to the sale of contaminated fuel to some private organisations.

Mr. Obeng’s dismissal is the second major announcement to have been made Wednesday by the Presidency following the termination of the appointment of Managing Director of Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, Paul Asare Ansah.

Reasons for Mr. Paul Ansah’s removal from office are not immediately known but it is believed to have been triggered by a recent spat between workers' union of the Ports Authority and Board Chair, Peter Mac Manu whom they accuse of engaging in wrongful undertakings as well as running a family and friends’ administration.

He has been directed to vacate his office by close of day, Friday, June 8.

The CEO of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), Gifty Klenam, has also been sacked from her position following allegations of embezzlement at the Authority.

Gifty Klenam who was a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Lower West Akyem was sacked along with her two deputies.

Thee CEO of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Felix Anyah is the latest casualty of the widespread clearouts in the management of state institutions.

A number of top officials of some state agencies are also expected to be sacked between now and July.

Dr. Anyah, who is the owner of Holy Trinity Medical Centre/Holy Trinity Spa & Health Farm was appointed in June 1, 2017.

He took over from Dr Samuel Asiamah who was the acting CEO of the hospital following the self-termination of service by Dr Gilbert Buckle.
