The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has started a process to verify the academic qualifications of 2,465 of its workers.<\/p>\n
This exercise forms part of moves by the trust to cleanse its system of employees with possible fake qualifications.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”5TTPv6UkwPUg2b4u24oRajQtY8oPjDh0″]SSNIT\u2019s Director-General, Dr. John Ofori-Tenkorang indicated that a directive in this regard was issued in August 2017, according to a report from the Daily Graphic.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a policy of SSNIT for all certificates to be verified, but, somehow, Afaglo slipped through. We, therefore, need to make sure similar incidents do not occur in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Ofori-Tenkorang also noted that he expected his own credentials to be screened too and urged staff of the trust to cooperate and not feel targeted by the exercise.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect the Human Resource of the department of the trust to do it, I am also an employee of SSNIT and I expect my certificates to be vetted\u2026 We are not out there to victimise anyone; we are only seeking to cleanse the image of the trust to regain absolute confidence\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
News of these processes comes in the wake of Trust sacking its General Manager in charge of Management Information Systems (MIS), Caleb Afaglo, for securing a job with fake degrees.<\/p>\n
