For institutions such as the SIC Insurance PLC, the proper procedure for an appointment is through the Public Services Commission (PSC), Civil Society activist, Dr Steve Manteaw has said.

He explained that politicians have however found a nice way of making the appointments and they get the appointees to ratify their appointments with the PSC.

The political meddling is what seems to have made their tenure co-terminus with the political authority, he added.

On the heels of these observations, Dr Steve Manteaw described President John Dramani Mahama's appointment to SIC Insurance PLC as unfortunate.
