President Nana Akufo-Addo has appointed Mr. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Majority Leader in Parliament as the Board Chairman of the Electricity Company of Ghana Limited (ECG).
The appointment of the Leader of Government Business in Parliament who is also the Member of Parliament for Effutu Constituency in the Central Region, was announced yesterday in a letter from the Presidency.
Nana Bediatuo Asante, Secretary to the President in the letter urged that all the necessary steps should be followed in this regard.
“Kindly take the necessary steps to give effect to the President’s nomination in accordance with the Company’s Act 2019, (Act 992) and the Regulations of the Company,” the letter added.
In February this year, Mr Afenyo-Markin urged the ECG to provide regular updates to Ghanaians regarding recent interruptions in power supply.
In an interview with Accra-based TV3, he stressed that as a state institution serving the public interest, it is essential for ECG to inform citizens in advance about potential power outages.
Reflecting on his own experience, Mr. Afenyo-Markin noted fluctuations in his electricity supply and stressed the importance of timely notifications from ECG.
