An internal restructuring at the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has led to the resignation of Marina Lamptey, the centre’s Head of Diaspora Relations, Accra-based DAILY GUIDE has reported.
Ms. Lamptey, daughter of the late David Lamptey, a former Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey and a key financier of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was recently demoted from her role following the assumption of office by GIPC’s new management.
The newspaper citing its sources within the GIPC said that Marina Lamptey, who played a pivotal role in establishing and nurturing the Diaspora Relations department at GIPC, was relieved of her position as department head.
According to the newspaper, the move has been described as part of an effort to “strengthen investment promotion efforts” and streamline diaspora engagement.
As a result, the entire Diaspora Relations Desk is reported to have been dissolved, with its staff now reporting to the Head of Corporate Affairs. This shift effectively merges the once-independent unit into the Corporate Affairs Division.
Ms Lamptey, who has been with the GIPC for over five years, was instrumental in positioning the Diaspora Desk as a key driver of foreign investment, particularly from Ghanaian expatriates.
