Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai was at the center of attention during the Public Account Committee sitting on January 29, 2024, where he admitted to working without a contract. The Minority in Parliament raised concerns about his retirement, which led to a heated discussion among committee members.
The majority members of the committee objected to the question, claiming it was out of order, further escalating the disagreement between the two sides. This disagreement highlighted the tension within the committee regarding Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai’s situation.
During the break, Rev. Ammishaddai disclosed that he turned 62 in October 2023. This revelation added to the complexity of the situation, as it raised questions about his eligibility for retirement and the lack of a formal contract.
In response to the developments, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor expressed his concerns in an interview with Accra-based Okay FM. He criticized the presence of collusion, cronyism, and politics that he believed were corroding the system. Dafeamekpor emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in such matters to prevent abuses of power and the erosion of public trust.
He pointed out that the situation with Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai exemplified a broader issue of neglect and indifference within the system. Dafeamekpor highlighted the need for leaders like Rev. Owusu-Amoah to take responsibility for their actions and adhere to regulations to avoid future complications.
The revelation that Rev. Owusu-Amoah had been working without a contract while still receiving a salary raised concerns about the Auditor General’s repeated citations of such violations. This lack of oversight and accountability in the system highlighted the need for better governance and enforcement of regulations to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.
Overall, the case of Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai served as a reminder of the importance of transparency, accountability, and adherence to regulations in public institutions. The incident sparked a broader conversation about the need for stronger oversight mechanisms and ethical leadership to prevent abuses of power and ensure the public’s trust in the system. It also underscored the significance of upholding principles of good governance and integrity in all aspects of public service to build a more equitable and just society.
