Prez Mahama sacks ECG boss
President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Robert
Dwamena as acting Managing Director of the
Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

A statement signed by the Chief of Staff, Prosper
Bani, said the former Managing Director of ECG,
Rev. Ing. William Hutton-Mensah, who is on his
annual leave, is to report to the Ministry of
Energy and Petroleum for re-assignment.

Mr. Dwamena, the Director of Procurements at the
ECG started his career with the Engineering
Directorate of the Company in 1982.

President Mahama has meanwhile asked the Omanhene
of Abeadze and President of the Central Regional
House of Chiefs, Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi VII, to act
as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ECG.

It follows the resignation of Tony Oteng Gyasi on
health grounds.

The nation's power producers and distributors have
been struggling to meet the generation targets
needed for industries, businesses and homes
despite increasing tariffs twice in 2014.

This compelled the ECG to release a load-shedding
timetable but there have been complaints from the
public about inconsistencies in the power outage
schedules.

Meanwhile, the increase in shedding is expected to
continue in the coming weeks.
