Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority (GSA), Professor Ransford Edward Van Gyampo, has strongly denied allegations that he has personally recruited 28 women and two men into the Authority.
In a firm rebuttal issued on Tuesday, July 2, Prof Gyampo described the claims which have been circulated on some radio platforms and across social media as baseless and part of a grand scheme aimed at tarnishing his image due to his outspoken stance on governance issues in the past administration. "I have not recruited 28 women and two men as alleged.
I am not in charge of recruitment at my workplace," he clarified. "Recruitment over the years, I am told, has been done professionally by a private outsourced agency that follows a rigorous selection process." Prof Gyampo, who is also a Senior Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana, revealed that while many of his supporters and admirers have urged him to ignore the attacks, he found it necessary to publicly respond and clarify the facts. "Lies become truth in the psyche of many people when they aren't corrected.
So, I plead that I am allowed to respond not to the already known grand scheme against me because of my vociferousness against bad governance in the previous regime, but merely as a way to set the record straight," he stated.
