David Asamoah has been appointed as the acting Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), following the resignation of Samuel Dubik Mahama, on Wednesday, September 25.
Asamoah previously served as the Deputy Managing Director in charge of Commercial Services. His new role is temporary, pending a decision by the Government of Ghana, the sole shareholder of ECG.
The appointment was announced by Board Chairman of the ECG, Alexander Afenyo Markin after a crunch meeting with the board.
Mr Dubik Mahama’s raised concerns about the management of ECG and what the minority in parliament described as feet dragging in signing some dubious contracts on behalf of government.
Meanwhile the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) has renewed its call for the dissolution of the Electricity Company of Ghana’s (ECG) board, following the resignation of its Managing Director, Samuel Dubik Mahama, on Wednesday, September 25.
Mahama stepped down citing personal reasons. ACEP has consistently advocated for a complete overhaul of ECG’s management, particularly due to concerns over poor revenue collection from power sales.
