Veteran broadcaster and entertainment critic, Amandzeba Smyth, has accused Bice Osei Kuffour aka Obour of underperforming on his job as Managing Direct Postor of Ghana Post.
According to Amandzeba, the former President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has been superficial in his approach to steering affairs at the government-owned postal service, resulting in poor services to customers.
Amandzeba, who appeared as a panelist on Onua FM’s Anigye Mmere entertainment show, accused Obour of prioritising picture-taking over his mandate to improve efficiency at Ghana Post.
“Whatever Obour is doing is make-believe. He is standing there with the president in the picture, right? This is called make-believe. It is all for the cameras. I can confidently tell you that ‘VIP’ parcel service is more effective than Ghana Post. Compare the two, and you’ll realize that Ghana Post is not as efficient as portrayed. I sent a laptop to my children in Kumasi via Ghana Post, and it took them one week and three days to deliver it.”
“I want to be blunt. I’m giving you a clear case of abandoned post offices. An example is Kumasi Brewery. There is a slaughterhouse close by, and cows have taken over the post office even in Obour’s era. Gyakye Pramso and Mampong Nsuta are a few of such post offices,” he said.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo appointed Obour as MD of Ghana Post in December 2021.
