The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has taken action against 11 senior executives following allegations of their involvement in activities that led to significant financial losses for the company.
According to reports the list of individuals affected by this decision includes Treasury Executives, a Senior IT Assistant, an Assistant Accounting Officer, Artisans, Customer Service Officers, and other high-ranking personnel.
The report outlines a range of illicit actions in which these executives are alleged to have participated, resulting in negative financial consequences for the organization.
The accusations leveled against these individuals encompass activities such as manipulating and fabricating records, making unauthorized alterations to payment records, as well as engaging in improper payments and transfers.
These actions collectively contributed to the financial harm suffered by ECG.
These executives, who had been stationed across different regions of the country, have been issued dismissal notices, effectively ending their employment with the company. The terminations took place in August 2023, affecting the top leadership of ECG.
Although the report does not provide specific names of the dismissed officials, it confirms that management has already communicated their dismissal to them through official letters.
It is noted that the implicated executives were given ample opportunity by ECG management to defend themselves against the allegations. However, their failure to adequately address the accusations ultimately led to their dismissal.
The present administration at ECG is firmly committed to safeguarding the company’s financial assets. To this end, a series of policies have been introduced to combat theft and other illicit activities within the organization.
