Acting Deputy ECG MD's 'inadvertent' appointment withdrawn

The appointment of the acting Deputy Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Dr. William Amuna, has been withdrawn due to an inadvertent error. The Ministry of Energy announced that the decision was made after realizing that the appointment did not comply with established protocols and procedures.

Dr. Amuna had been appointed to the position following a restructuring process within ECG, but it was later determined that his selection did not align with the necessary guidelines for such appointments. The Ministry emphasized its commitment to ensuring that all appointments within state institutions adhere strictly to legal frameworks and organizational policies.

In light of this development, the Ministry is expected to conduct a thorough review and re-evaluate candidates for the role, ensuring that future appointments are transparent and merit-based. This incident highlights the importance of adhering to proper procedures in public sector appointments to maintain integrity and trust in governmental operations.
