The Board of Directors of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has assured the public of a stable power supply despite changes in management.
The Chairman of the ECG board, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, emphasized that all ECG systems were in good condition to offer the essential services they provide to Ghanaians.
“The board has received the support of management and we are here to assure you that the fact that we have had changes in management would not mean that you are going to have some interrupted power supply,” Afenyo-Markin noted.
“The entire system of the company is in place and the company will continue to provide the essential services that it provides for Ghanaians and the country. So, simply that’s the point, nothing more,” he said in an update to the public on developments at the company.
A press conference was held a day after the resignation of the Managing Director (MD) of the company, Samuel Dubik Mahama, citing personal reasons.
Addressing the media, Mr Afenyo-Markin added that the board had accepted the resignation of the MD and that a Deputy MD, David Asamoah, had been nominated to act as MD, pending decisions with the sole shareholder of the company, the government.

Mr Afenyo-Markin, who is also the Majority Leader of Parliament and Leader of Government Business in the House, indicated that the board would have necessary engagements with the sole shareholder on the matter.
He further assured that the company would implement the necessary reforms to make it super efficient and counted on the cooperation of the public.
“I believe that maybe in good faith, management was putting across the issues to the government, and of course, we all are aware of the challenges that we face. But very soon, the company will make certain matters public. There’s a new board,” he said.
