Ashanti ECG manager not fired
Accra, June 2, GNA – The Government has denied
news reports indicating that the President has
fired the Ashanti Regional Manager of the
Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the wake of
difficulties with the flood lights at the Kumasi
Stadium last night.

A statement issued by the Ministry of Information
on Saturday and copied to the GNA said the
President has given no such directive; therefore,
it was untrue that the ECG boss in the Ashanti
Region has been fired.

However, the statement said, the Government has
directed an investigation to establish the cause
of the failure of the flood lights for the
appropriate corrective measures to be instituted
against a recurrence in the future.

“Meanwhile, government sincerely congratulates the
Black Stars for their outstanding performance and
the massive goal harvest scored against Lesotho
last night,” it said.

“The team will continue to enjoy the support of
the Government to enable the nation to qualify for
the next World Cup Tournament.”
