Public Utilities Workers’ Union of the Trades Union Congress are displeased with the nomination of Collins Nuntwiri Nuamah as Deputy Managing Director, Finance and Administration for the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL).
They have therefore petitioned the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources against the nomination.
According to the Union, Mr. Nuamah does not have the required qualification for the job and thus should not be considered for the position.
In press statement protesting Mr. Nuamah’s nomination, the Union said, “the position of Deputy Managing Director, Finance and Administration requires a person who among other qualifications and experience, should be a certified Chartered Accountant belonging to an accredited institute of Chartered Accountants.
“The information we have gathered indicates that Mr. Collins Nuntwiri Nuamah is not a Chartered Accountant and is thus not qualified to be appointed as a Deputy Managing Director, Finance and Administration.”
It added that “it would therefore be anomalous and ludicrous for GWCL to be given a non-chartered Accountant to superintend the work of subordinates who are qualified chartered Accountants.”
This, the Union, stressed will create “avoidable tension and chaos within the company.”
