Professor Opoku-Amankwah explained that “as part of the sensitization program, exit forms were provided for GES staff who do not want to be part of this Group Life Insurance Policy.
“The default position was to put every staff on this policy and give room for those who may wish to be excluded to opt out of this program.” He remarked.
Professor Opoku-Amankwah further disclosed “as at June 15, 2019, about 20,000 staff have submitted exit forms to be excluded from the policy which will commence in July 2019”
On her part, the Managing Director of SIC Life, Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Wyns Dogbe expressed their commitment to ensure claims are paid promptly.
Rev. Dogbe disclosed that “even though there was only one deduction in June 2018, they are paying claims to some beneficiaries and to relations of deceased staff to affirm their commitment to the implementation of the policy.”
One of the beneficiaries, Madam Juliana Obuo expressed appreciation to GES and SIC Life for the support. According to her, “the GHC18,000 paid to each one of them would go a long way to support the needs of their children”
