GIPC boss expresses shock after the sack
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot

Accra, May 19, Ghanadot - The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Center (GIPC), Robert Ahomka Lindsay has confirmed that he has been relieved of his position as the Chief Executive of the centre.

Speaking on Joy FM, Mr. Lindsay said he is humiliated and confounded by circumstances surrounding his removal from office yesterday. H

 

Mr. Lindsay, who claimed he has contributed his quota to Ghana, also admitted that he was highly disappointed he took the job.

“Let me be honest, I face a very difficult situation; I feel devastated that I put my family through this; I feel devastated that I have a situation where my children who have nothing to do with my decision have been put in the front page and I think that is a devastating testimony on our society. I should never have accepted the role.

The CEO, who was summoned to the castle early Monday, was asked to leave his post with an official announcement to follow from the castle.

 

Though the reason for his sack is not clear, recent media reports of his conduct and treatment of some workers at the center is speculated to be reason.

“I certainly hope dearly that those false lies were not the basis of the decision-making… there’s been a couple of press announcements, front-page, the most despicable front-page I have seen, where my children were named on the front-page of a newspaper, which is below the belt in any format you can think of.“

Mr. Ahomka-Lindsay was called on from his lucrative UK job to come and help grow Ghana’s investment drive, and “I believe today the centre is beginning to show the manifestation of a first class investment promotion agency”.

He denied accusations of living a life of pretension with an authoritarian management style as told by his subordinates.
