The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC), Professor Kobby Mensah, has disclosed the reason behind his dismissal from a government appointment under former President Nana Akufo-Addo.
The Associate Professor at the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) revealed that he served as a board member of the Hotel Catering and Tourism Training Institute (HOTCATT) in 2017.
However, he was removed from the position after openly criticizing certain government policies.
“I went on a demonstration and I was sacked. I demonstrated against some policies and decisions, and they were not happy, so they sacked me. The appointment was a public record and not something that was secret,” he stated on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem.
Prof. Mensah stressed that his appointment as GTDC CEO was purely based on competence and reiterated his commitment to public advocacy, vowing to hold the government accountable when necessary.
