A consumer advocacy group in the Republic of Ghana, Chamber of Petroleum Consumers Ghana (COPEC) is calling for the dissolution of the board of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transport (BOST) Company Limited.

The call follows the resignation of its second Managing Director within a space of three years.

Executive Secretary of COPEC, Mr. Duncan Amoah, is of the view that the board which supervised some transactions which allegedly caused the exit of the former Managing Directors of the nation’s strategic oil company must share the blame of their actions.

“The existing board should be fired because all the things that led to the resignation and firing of the two heads at the place was supervised by this board,” he said.

On Monday, Edwin A. Provencal was appointed as new MD for BOST after George Mensah Okley tendered in his resignation to the President.

Mr. Okley took over from Alfred Obeng Boateng who was entangled in corruption allegations.

In a statement after the appointment, Chairman of the BOST Board, Ekow Hackman said “Pending the assumption of office by the Managing Director, Mr Moses Mensah Assem, the Deputy Managing Director of BOST, will act as Managing Director.

”The Board wishes to assure all stakeholder and the general public that the company operations will continue uninterrupted.”
