DEGLORY GH MEDIA

A former employee of Keda Ghana Ceramics has lodged a formal petition to both the Presidency and the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), raising serious concerns about alleged pension and tax fraud. The individual claims that although deductions were made from their salary for pension and tax purposes during their employment, these amounts were never properly remitted to SSNIT or the tax authorities. This failure to remit contributions has potentially jeopardized the employee’s future pension benefits and raises questions about the company’s compliance with statutory obligations.

This petition comes amid wider scrutiny of pension management and financial transparency within SSNIT and other organizations. SSNIT has faced criticism in recent years over issues such as mismanagement of funds, questionable investments, and lapses in governance. There have been previous cases where investigations revealed irregularities related to pension funds and public sector asset management.

The former employee’s appeal to the Presidency and SSNIT highlights the need for stricter enforcement of pension and tax regulations to protect workers’ rights and ensure the integrity of Ghana’s social security system. The authorities are expected to review the allegations and take appropriate action to address any discovered malpractices.
