According to the governor it is not accurate that he had to take his early retirement, because of a recent crisis in the microfinance sector. Neither is it related to the controversy around his family after it emerged his step-daughter had married a British fugitive, David McDermott.
Speaking to Joy Business, the governor explained that; “I had communicated to President John Mahama as far back as January of my intention to take my early retirement” the governor added.
Dr. Wampah announced last Tuesday, his intention to retire from office by Friday.This is four clear months before the end of his contract on August 5 this year.
