Dr Anim-Odame’s contract ends on 14 July 2018.

It is not clear why the president has decided not to renew his contract.

The dismissal of Dr Anim-Odame comes barely two weeks after four Chief Executives of parastatal institutions were fired.

They include the Korlebu Teaching Hospital, Dr. Felix Anyah, The CEO of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority Gifty Klenam, the MD of BOST Alfred Obeng and the Director General of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority Paul Asare Ansah.
