Re-Ghana Gas Boss' 4-Year-Old Letter Exposes US$2 Billion GNPC-Genser Loot

It has come to the attention of Ghana National Gas Company ("GNGC") of publications in the Herald Newspaper with the above headline making rounds, and we wish to categorically state that;

1. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GNGC, Dr. Ben K. D. Asante never served as the Director of Technical Regulations at the Energy Commission, and neither did he sign the aforementioned letter dated 17th February 2019 as alleged by the Herald Newspaper.

2.  It must be noted that Dr. Ben K.D. Asante was appointed as the CEO of Ghana National Gas Company Limited in April 2017, and he has remained at this position till date.

3.  The publication in the Herald Newspaper linking Dr. Ben K.D. Asante to The Energy Commission is a deliberate matter of wrongful and unfounded claims.

We therefore demand a full retraction and an unqualified apology from the Herald Newspaper.
