The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Enterpise Agency (GEA) Margaret Ansei, has issued a strict directive ordering all District Coordinators whose contracts have expired, as well as National Service Personnel who have completed their service, to cease reporting to work with immediate effect.

In a memo dated December 3, 2025, and addressed to Heads of Directorates, Regional Managers and BAC/BRC Heads, management expressed concern over the continued presence of some former District Coordinators at various offices despite the expiration of their contracts.

According to the memo, management has observed that “some District Coordinators whose contracts have expired are still reporting to work at the various Directorates, Regional Offices, BACs and BRCs.”

The directive outlines four mandatory actions to be enforced immediately. Among them, the CEO instructed officers to “inform all outgone District Coordinators to cease coming to work with immediate effect.”

She further directed that “the newly recruited District Coordinators be provided with the necessary support and guidance needed to work effectively.”

Additionally, management emphasised the need for proper handing over of agency assets, stating, “Ensure the outgone District Coordinators hand over any property of the Agency in their possession to the Head of Directorate or Regional Manager.”

The memo also extended the directive to National Service Personnel, stating, “Kindly ensure that National Service Personnel who have completed their tenure of service should also cease coming to work.”

Margaret Ansei cautioned that any staff member who fails to comply will face appropriate disciplinary action.

“Failure on the part of any staff to comply with the above directive will result in the necessary action being taken, and the individual staff will be held liable,” she warned.

However, a document circulating on the Confirmation of Appointment as a District Coordinator/Business Development Officer, GEA/Mastercard Foundation Business in a Box (BizBox) Project appears to present a conflicting timeline regarding the tenure of some District Coordinators.

The appointment letter signed by former CEO Kosi Yankey-Ayeh states that the contract is a four-year full-time engagement, renewable annually, beginning 1st September 2024 and expected to end on 31st August 2028, subject to satisfactory performance and mutual written consent.

The document outlines the terms of employment, including leave entitlements, sick leave provisions and the requirement for either party to provide one month’s notice or salary in lieu of termination.
