Kwesi Afreh Biney appointed SSNIT Director-General.

President John Mahama has appointed Kwesi Afreh Biney as the new Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), with Adam Sulley taking over as Deputy Director-General in charge of Operations and Benefits.

These appointments follow the revocation of Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo’s position as Director-General of SSNIT.

According to sources, the contracts of his three deputies have also been terminated.

The affected deputies include:
 Kwame Adu-Darkwa – Deputy Director-General, Finance and Administration
 Juliana Kpedekpo – Deputy Director-General, Operations and Benefits
 Nana Serwah Bonsu Amoako – Deputy Director-General, Investment and Development
This marks another leadership change at SSNIT, following the removal of Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang in April 2024 by then-President Nana Akufo-Addo, who appointed Osafo-Maafo in his place.

Osafo-Maafo, son of former Presidential Advisor Yaw Osafo-Maafo, took over amid a wave of resignations, including that of then-Deputy Director-General for Finance and Administration, Michael Addo.

His appointment also led to the reassignment of Pearl Nana Ama Darko, who moved from SSNIT to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as Commissioner for Support Services.

Juliana Kpedekpo, who had replaced Darko at SSNIT, is now among those whose contracts have been revoked.
