Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has exposed attempts by some New Patriotic Party (NPP) political appointees who are employing dishonesty to hold on to their jobs even after the appointing authority that gave them the position has left power.
Speaking in an interview with GH One TV, the Member of Parliament for Effutu in the Central Region cited an instance where two appointees at the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), where he served as Board Chairman, are reportedly dishonestly claiming to be members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to persuade the new administration to retain them. "I am particularly concerned about something happening at ECG, where I was a board chair.
The acting MD we appointed, David Asamoah, I have been reliably informed, is now telling the new government that he is an NDC member so they should maintain him.
I laughed my head off.
