Some concerned workers of Ghana’s only refinery, Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), have given President Nana Akufo-Addo some guidelines to consider for the appointment of a new Managing Director of the company.
The workers want the President to consider someone who is an entrepreneur/innovator, business oriented, have strong financial background, have international and local links, ability to listen and respectful, moderately young and knowledgeable in the oil and gas sector and someone who believe in ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’ agenda.
In their view, a person with these aptitudes would help to position the national assets.
The concerned workers’ call follows the resignation of Mr Asante K. Berko, who is being dragged to the U.S District Court Eastern District of New York for allegedly paying bribes to Ghanaian officials to secure power project for a client when he was an executive staff of Goldman Sachs.
Sources within the refinery indicates that Mr Ato Morrison, General Manager in-charge of Technical Services has been asked to act until a substantive MD is appointed.
