Paramount Chiefs of the Nzema Manle Council in the Western Region have strongly opposed the appointment and a possible confirmation of Dr Ben Asante as Chief Executive officer of the Ghana National Gas Company Limited.
President Akufo-Addo appointed Dr. Asante as caretaker CEO of Ghana Gas when former CEO of the company, Dr. Sipa Yankey stepped down.
At a press conference held at the palace of the Nsein Traditional area, Chiefs from various traditional areas argued that Dr. Asante has bad human relations with both the Chiefs and people in the area.
They also cited the failure of Ghana Gas to pay adequate compensation to farmers whose farms were destroyed during the construction of the Ghana Gas Company of which Dr. Asante was a lead member.
According to them, one Professor Sagary Nokoe best fits the position because he “understands the socio-cultural, economic, security, political and environmental dynamics of the terrain”
They insisted that should the President refused the concerns brought to the fore “will in a long way sever the ties that bind us the people of Nzemaland to your party and leadership”.
