Sam George Hints at Probe into Obour’s Tenure at Ghana Post

Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, has hinted that former Ghana Post Managing Director, Bice Osei Kuffour—popularly known as Obour—could soon be called to account for alleged irregularities during his leadership at the state postal agency.

Obour recently resigned from his post after serving for two years, but his exit has not gone unnoticed amid a broader shake-up at the Ministry. His comments criticizing the dismissal of about 100 personnel across the Ministry and its agencies on March 25, 2025, appear to have sparked a strong reaction from the minister.

In a pointed Instagram post on March 26, Sam George wrote:

"Obour has offered to help. His offer is welcome—not to explain post-December 7th, 2024, recruitment, but rather the shady deals he engaged in as MD of Ghana Post. He would have his hands full soon in explaining his deeds at Ghana Post. He should exercise some patience."

Though the minister did not outline specific allegations, the tone of his message has stirred public speculation about a potential investigation into Obour’s tenure, particularly regarding financial or administrative mismanagement.

Obour, who has yet to formally respond to Sam George’s claims, had earlier urged the minister to review all relevant documents before carrying out the retrenchment exercise, describing it as hasty.

The developing situation raises questions about governance practices at Ghana Post and whether more accountability measures are on the horizon.
