Some staff of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) are demanding for the dismissal of their Managing Director, Mr Kwame Agyeman-Budu.

According to the workers, Mr. Agyeman-Budu has not satisfactorily steered the affairs of the company since his appointment.

They said the incompetence of the Managing Director has dwindled the fortunes of the nation's power generating company.

As reported by Accra based Citi FM, a statement from the workers alleged that several petitions to Mr Agyeman-Budu to involve its rank and file in revenue mobilization since 2020 have been ignored.

The workers claim the MD’s continuous stay at post will collapse the electricity distribution company because to them, “he is grossly deficient when it comes to matters relating to administrative and corporate governance”.

They also accuse their MD of breaching procurement processes.

“A clear example is the award of contracts of some Six (6) substations where the recommendations of the evaluation committee were sidestepped and awarded to other companies,” the Junior and Senior Staff Unions said in a statement.

They have therefore warned that if their concerns are not addressed by Friday, April 23, 2021, they will advise themselves.
