EPA Boss Confirms Reshuffle

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has undertaken a major reshuffle exercise including a transfer of the Western Regional Director, Dr George Diawuo.

Confirming this in a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', the Executive Director of EPA, Dr Henry Kwabena Kokofu said "Indeed there have been changes".

Debunking the notion that the reshuffle is kneejerk, he said more is to be expected.

"Transfer has been on the burner for some time now...When I took office people who had worked for 10 to 20 years, were still in the position of acting directors which is against the labor law and condition of service. We had an arrangement and some were interviewed with 20 passing the interview. Because of that, we had to make changes and reassign. Apart from that when one stays in the same position for over 10 years, productivity is low..." he added.
