More shake up in Ghana Immigration Service
Comptroller of GIS, Kwame Asuah Takyi |
Thirty-one middle-level management officials of the Ghana Immigration
Service (GIS) have been reassigned from their duty posts across the
country.
This is the second major shake-up under the watch of new Comptroller
of GIS, Kwame Asuah Takyi, who took office in March this year.
The officers affected are of Superintendent, Chief Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent ranks.
Earlier this month, 45 senior officers were transferred including the
Head of Public Affairs at the Immigration Service Francis Palmdetti.
Also transferred were two Deputy Commissioners of Immigration (DCOI),
two Assistant Commissioners of Immigration (ACi), 18 Chief
Superintendents of Immigration (C/SUPT.), eight Superintendents of
Immigration (SUPT.), 11 Deputy Superintendents of Immigration (DSI) and
four Assistant Superintendents of Immigration (ASI).
A letter dated May 17, 2017, and signed by Comptroller-General of
Immigration, Kwame Asuah Takyi, said the transfers take immediate
effect.
According to the letter, DCOI Prosper Price Delali Asima has been
transferred from Kotoka International Airport (KIA) to Sekondi in the
Western Region as the Officer in Charge (OIC) While DCOI Eric Affari at
Sekondi heads to KIA as OIC.
In addition, ACI Isaac Luortey, the Commander in Tamale in the
Northern Region has been transferred to Headquarters in Accra. He will
be replaced by an officer from Headquarters Chief Superintendent Noah
Ahomka Yeboah as Acting Regional Commander.
According to Mr. Takyi Asuah, the shake up is aimed at injecting more
efficiency and effectiveness into the ranks of the service.
Ordinarily, officers are supposed to be transfered every four to five
years. But most of the officers being moved currently have stayed at
their duty posts for six to seven years without being transferred.
The move is also to ensure that those who have served in deprived
areas like Shia, Hamile and Axim be given the opportunity to operate at
more exciting duty posts like the Kotoka International Airport, Aflao,
Headquarters and Tema.
The move will also allow those who have served in cities to experience service in deprived areas.
In the latest shake-up, six officers are being moved from the Kotoka
International Airport (KIA) to other parts of the country whilst seven
others are being moved from the Aflao border post.
