The NPP founding member and former head of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital is taking over from Dr. Appiah Denkyira who was appointed by the former Mahama administration
WHAT A COUNTRY - GHANA. ARE THOSE AT GHS TROUBLED JUST BECAUSE THE NOMINEE IS ABOVE SIXTY?
I THOUGHT THE REAL QUESTION THESE FOLKS SHOULD HAVE ASKED WAS " HOW DID HE DO WHEN HE WAS THE HEAD AT THE KOMFO ANOKYE HOSPITAL"? AND UPON THAT, DECIDE IF HE IS COMPETENT ENOUGH TO TAKE OVER THIS NEW POSITION.
OH! WHAT A BIG PLUS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF CONTRIBUTORS WILL BASE THEIR DECISIONS ON MERIT AND NOT AGE.
GHANA, PLEASE WAKE UP. ROOT FOR A COMPETENT MANAGER INSTEAD OF A YOUNGIE WITHOUT EXPERIENCE.

Agree,what has his age got to do with what he is going to do,didn't they vote for the president who is over 70 years old,if the president who appointed him is older why his age should be a factor,what did they achieve with their young ages,are we talking about experience or age.
We don't need any so called young people who are only interested in amassing wealth at the expense of tax payers,we need to be appointing people who have the experience,we should even not appoint anybody who never built a decent house,if you don't have a house and have your own decent car you should not be holding any sensitive position to come to office and start building a house and buying cars,if in all your life you could not afford any of these things you should not have any business working for us in any sensitive position,nonsense.

The president can appoint anyone to be head or deputy head of any government agency regardless of age. That is political appointment which can be revoked by the president if he/she thinks the person is not performing or can be removed if government changes. That is political appointment.
However, if Ghana Health Service asks for people to apply to head the organization, then not older than 60 years applies. In this case, the person is handed the job under contract for 4 years. This person cannot be removed even if government changes within the 4 years. This is what GHS is used to. That is appointment by civil service rules.
But the president can appoint outside GHS based on ability to do the job. President Kufuor appointed Prof Akosa to head GHS though he was from outside GHS. In his case, he was less than 60 years but was based on his ability to do the job.

Kwame, the head of the GHS is not a civil service appointment. This is a political appointment and does not fall under the age limit rule. Therefore the issue of one being over 60 and cannot function effectively is baseless.

Pls that's not true. The D.G. of GHS is a public service appointment. Just contact the Public Service Commission and ask them. It is the Politiians who are bastardizing the Public Service with their intrusive political appointments, obviously taking undue n senseless advantage of Article 195 of the Constitution which vests tube power of all appointments into the Public Service in the President!
Do you want to tell me that if the DG of GHS was in office since he was 58, he wouldn't hv retired at 60? The answer is NO!
Yes I agree that the Constitution also allows for contract appointment for retirees for up to 5 more year, but not more than 2 yrs at a time. However you will agree with me that this provision has seriously bn abused by d system and that explains why you have almost 30% of the top public service heads being over 60yrs.
Don't you think that this is just not fair and must be stopped? No politics about this bcos all d regimes have been doing it but it's got to stopp!

why are we so hypocrite in Ghana. because of politics old age has now become a crime when we all pry for long life. institutions should be trusted into hand of people who have a good experience in life not just anyone at all. we should stop that non sense and look at the life experience of the person and what he can bring on board. if not because of lack of jobs, our national retiring age should be reviewed. In uk, the retiring age is now being moved from 65 for men to 70 and 60 for women to 65. the young ones must be prepared to understudy the old ones. this person in question has worked in the health sector for a long time time both in Ghana and abroad so he is more qualify to lead the GHS.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.(+233547122212)

A very good appointment, the health sector will need such experienced heads and hands to deliver. I know Dr. Nsiah Asare will do a good job!
It is quite interesting. How old is the person who appointed him?
60 years means too old to work ? Where are those workers coming from ? I though they would say he is mentally , physically and emotionally incapable

Only Asantes and Akyems are appointable to all positions in the tribal government.
Why is this news? Do you expect everyone to like the man knowing how his predecessor had packed the headquarters with cronies and concubines?
I don't think being in your 60s should prevent you from holding public positions in Ghana. What is going on in Ghana now? Who said, when you are in your 60s, you can hold public office? This is discrimination based on age. If ...

I wonder why some young people discrimi ...

The NDC bypassed him and appointed others so the fear factor is activated by them. NDC used Nathan Quao and Mary Grant in their old age yet complains about everyone who is old.,
No staff is angry except that vengeful director who thought he should have been the DG. He made his bed with the NDC and now believes his political colour should be overlooked.
Please publish the names of the staff and it wi ...

Nana should cause troubles for us in Ghana. Is nana confused? Director general of a service is different from board chair. This man is on retirement and laws are clear.
We will resist
Nana must abolish the 3 months arrears policy introduced by the dead goat government.
Resist what?.This nation has suffered so much under nonperforming people. Nsiah Asare will perform to the admiration of ALL.
Yes, the appointment is political but that is what is needed for Nana Akuffo Addo' vision for healt ...

Does the president has the power to appoint in spite of everything you have said here?
The staff of GHS should stop making unnecessary noise and shut up, idiots. We need an experience people to man the dept so age is irrelevant here. Nana Addo may be old but he more experienced than everyone in the NDC .party.
Enviness will kill some ppl.

Please pray for wisdom and long life to live strong.
