It's knee-jerk - Titus Glover slams directive for GRIDCo CEO to step aside
Titus Glover criticised the directive for the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) to step aside, describing it as a "knee-jerk reaction." The directive was issued by the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor. Mr. Glover questioned the basis for the decision, especially as investigations into the Akosombo substation fire are still ongoing.
Mr. Glover stated that the GRIDCo CEO is "due for pension in June and will proceed on leave prior to that." He also said that "from a layman's point of view, the fire outbreak at Akosombo was an accident and they are working to resolve the issue." The fire damaged critical infrastructure and led to widespread power outages, forcing authorities to shut down operations at the Akosombo Dam. Authorities say investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the fire and assess the extent of the damage.
There has also been a reshuffle in the Ashanti Regional leadership of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) as part of efforts to improve efficiency and strengthen power distribution.
