GIS boss recalls 78 officers from interdiction

 The  Comptroller-General of Immigration (CGI), Samuel Basintale Amadu, has recalled 78 personnel from interdiction, reaffirming his commitment to discipline and due process.

The personnel made up of 14 senior officers and 64 other ranks were allegedly involved in recruitment and visa scams, and other offenses.

This was announced in a press statement, signed by the head of Public Affairs at the Ghana Im­migration Service (GIS), Assistant Commissioner of Immigration,

 Michael Amoako Atta.

The statement said the new CGI at a meeting with GIS personnel at the national head­quarters in Accra last Thursday, explained that their recall was not an act of amnesty.

Instead, Mr Amadu, he stated that they will undergo internal disciplinary procedures and those found culpable will face the appropriate sanctions.

CGI Amadu said that disci­plinary measures will no longer be prolonged, highlighting his administration’s dedication to due process and hard work.

He urged personnel to uphold the GIS’s dignity, and cautioned against misconduct.

Additionally, CGI Amadu in­dicated that cases involving fraud, recruitment malpractices, or visa irregularities would be referred to the police for further investiga­tion.

“For those eligible for promo­tion, due diligence will be under­taken in the light of the outcome of the trials they will be facing,” he added.

CGI Amadu urged the per­sonnel to maintain good conduct to uplift the Service’s image, and avoid repetition of past misbe­haviours.

He was accompanied in the meeting by deputies: Mr Laud Af­frifah (Operations and Command Post), Mr Isaac Owusu Mensah (Finance and Administration), and Assistant Commissioner Immigra­tion (ACI), Phillip Peter Andoh (Legal Research and Monitoring), as well as Deputy Commissioner of Immigration, Michael Asare Bediako, Head of Human Re­source Department.
