It has emerged that some officers of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), who are not enthused about the management of the service under the Chief Fire Officer (CFO), Dr Albert Brown Gaisie, have commenced moves to thwart the efforts of the CFO.
After holding secret meetings to gang up against the CFO and the current management of the service, the officers have written anonymous letters to the presidency, the seat of government to spew lied about the leadership of the Fire Service.
The Daily Heritage has gathered that some of the faceless individuals behind the anonymous letters were the brains behind the issuance of fake fire certificates to individuals and companies to illegally amass wealth.
The officials formed a cartel to rob the State on the blind side of the management of the service and are complaining now because the loopholes have been blocked under the current leadership of the service headed by Dr. Gaisie.
The paper further gathered that the anonymous letters are targeted at Dr. Gaisie to shut him up so that they can have their way, but source close to the CFO say “he is not perturbed about the anonymous letters. We know the people behind this, but we are focused on the job.
“In any case, nobody will listen to their lies, they are just bent on destroying the service for their selfish gains,” one of the officers told the paper in an interview.
Among the achievements of Dr. Gaisie since he assumed office barely a year ago are the restoration of morale in the service after resolving protracted legal issues regarding promotions and promotion of over 1,500 officers who had been struggling to be duly promoted for over 14 years.
Other achievements are the transformation of the Accra Regional office at Korle-Bu, the Makola office, the Training School at James Town and the opening of more offices in the Greater Accra Region to combat fires in the region, among many others.
