Oteng Gyasi was dissatified with ECG – Wereko-Brobby
An Energy Consultant, Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby has
disclosed to Citi News that Dr Tony Oteng-Gyasi
resigned as Board Chairman of the Electricity
Company of Ghana (ECG) because he was dissatisfied
with some activities within the company. Dr Oteng
Gyasi, who is credited for establishing the first
cable manufacturing company of ISO standards in
sub-Saharan Africa, resigned some months on health
grounds.

He occupied the position from September 2013 to
September 2014. Despite his reasons, some insiders
suggested there could be more to his resignation
than meets the eye. Industry players described his
resignation as a big blow to the energy sector
since his expertise could have helped the nation
surmount the power crisis which is intensifying as
the months go by.

Speaking on Citi FM’s news analysis programme,
The Big Issue over the weekend, Dr. Wereko-Brobby
who is also the former Chief Executive Officer of
the Volta River Authority (VRA) stated that some
happenings within the ECG informed Oteng Gyasi’s
decision to resign. He said: “He [Oteng Gyasi]
resigned simply because he was dissatisfied with
some of the things he had to grapple with.”
Wereko-Brobby admitted that Oteng Gyasi did have
health issues “…but the real reasons why Tony
resigned apart from problems with his personal
health was the fact that some of these problems
were challenges that he felt should be better
handled.”
