The Board Chairman of the Ghana News Agency has justified the removal of the General Manager of the agency.<\/p>\n

Nana Apau Duah was asked to proceed on leave following workers\u2019 agitation for his appointment to be terminated.<\/p>\n

The National Media Commission says Nana Apau Duah\u2019s removal by the board cannot hold since it is the only body with the mandate to appoint or dismiss a Chief Executive of any state-owned media institution, including the GNA.<\/p>\n

But its Board chairman Kodwo Ahlijah says the board\u2019s action was timely to salvage the worsening state of the organization.<\/p>\n

He told Joy News the sacked GNA boss had six years accumulated leave and had to proceed accordingly, especially when agitations for his removal have become rife.<\/p>\n

He explained the Board cannot not watch unconcerned whilst the situation in the Agency deteriorates.<\/p>\n

He dismissed assertions that the Board did not follow due procedures in axing the GNA boss from office.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo we want the place to be gutted down by fire before we take action and whose responsibility; whose inaction,\u201d he quizzed.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026We as a board have acted the way we deem right,\u201d he said, adding the NMC can appoint somebody in his place right now but he cannot be there.\u201d<\/p>\n
