The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) is set for a meeting on Wednesday, August 30 following various scandals that have hit the Trust.
Among other things, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of SSNIT, Dr Kwame Addo-Kufuor, and his team are considering retrieving monies paid as salaries to interdicted MIS Manager, Dr Caleb Afaglo.
Dr Afaglo had claimed to have Master’s and Doctorate degrees, but it was discovered after investigation by the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) that he does not have even a first degree.
This comes in the wake of a probe into the acquisition of a software system for $72 million.
There are concerns that the monies paid for the system have been overpriced, with ICT experts arguing that the cost for the application is outrageous.
The OBS project, which was undertaken in 2012, is, according to SSNIT, meant to provide customers with convenient services.
