The Acting Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) and Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi has responded to growing concerns regarding recent staffing adjustments at PMMC.
In a media interview, Gyamfi firmly refuted allegations that current PMMC employees were being replaced by unqualified individuals. He emphasized that no permanent staff members had been affected by the recent restructuring efforts.
He acknowledged, however, that some contract staff, particularly those working at PMMC’s satellite offices and their out stations had been let go, citing purely operational reasons for these decisions.
“All permanent workers of the PMMC at the main office of the PMMC numbering over 93 are still there and are automatic staff of the GOLDBOD,” he said.
Mr. Gyamfi explained that these staffing changes are part of a wider reform initiative aimed at revitalizing Ghana’s mineral sector.
