Chief of Staff, Prosper D. K Bani<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Government has suspended its earlier directive for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to only purchase and renew their insurance cover with state owned insurance companies.<\/p>\n

The directive which was issued in December last year received heavy backlash form players in the insurance industry with them threatening to take\u00a0 the matter to court seeking for a reversal.<\/p>\n

According to them, some other countries implemented a retaliatory action on some Ghanaian insurance companies making it difficult for them to do business in those countries following the announcement of the new directive.<\/p>\n

But a letter from the office of the President and signed by the Chief of Staff, Prosper D. K Bani to all Ministries stated that the directive has been suspended.<\/p>\n

The decision to suspend the directive was arrived at after a meeting with stakeholders in the industry.<\/p>\n

In the interim, MDAs can buy or renew insurance cover from state or private owned insurance companies as long as they can demonstrate value for money the letter stated.<\/p>\n
