Board Chair for the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Alexander Afenyo-Markin, says the resignation of the Managing Director will have a negative impact on power supply.
He said this in an interaction with the media after an emergency board meeting following the resignation of Mr. Dubik Mahama.
He assured that the resignation of Samuel Dubik Mahama as the MD of ECG will not occasion intermittent power supply.
The Majority Leader confirmed that Mr. David Asamoah has been nominated to act as managing director, pending decisions from the ‘’sole shareholder of the company, which is the government’’.
“The board has received the support of management in its decision, and we are here to assure you that the fact that we have had changes in management will not mean that you are going to have some interrupted power supply.
“The entire system of the company is in place, and the company will continue to provide the essential services that it provides for Ghanaians and the country.”
He also described the call for the dissolution of the entire board as misplaced.
“I think that is a misplaced position. However, I accept the fact that we must place our shoulders to the wheel for reforms. I mean, from outside and coming in. I think that ECG can be very efficient if we subject ourselves to reforms. And reform would involve engaging all stakeholders internally and communicating these to the external stakeholders.
“So it is an all-inclusive matter, and I don’t want this blame game approach where we are blaming the public and the public is also blaming us.”
