The immediate-past Executive Secretary of the National Identification Authority(NIA) Prof. Kenneth Attafuah has called on President John Mahama to withdraw a letter terminating his appointment.
Prof Attafuah has said the termination letter is inaccurate and unnecessary.
In a statement, he clarified that he officially retired from public service in November 2024.
Prof Attafuah added that he had already handed over to Mr Mahama Suleman Sualihu.
In the wake of the viral letter, he noted he had discussions with Dr Callistus Mahama, the Executive Secretary to the President.
“The said letter, reproduced below, also directed me to hand over the duties of my office to Mr Wisdom Kwaku Deku. My engagement with Dr Callistus Mahama today followed an earlier one yesterday [Friday, January 17] during which I pointed out the following incontrovertible facts to him,” he said.
He added that Dr Mahama has assured him that the termination letter would be formally withdrawn by Monday. Meanwhile, the Criminologist has called on the public to disregard any contrary report.
