The chairman of the GOIL Board of Directors is accusing president Nana Akufo-Addo of breaching procedures in his appointment of a new Chief Executive officer of the company.
In a statement issued today, Board Chairman, William Asumaning noted that the president did not follow due procedures in his new appointment of the GOIL CEO.
He is convinced the president did not follow due procedures in his new appointment of the GOIL CEO, and stressed that GOIL is a public listed company on the Ghana Stock Exchange with its own regulations which makes it impossible for the president to appoint or remove a CEO without observing the necessary procedures.
The statement is in reaction to media reports on Friday that President Nana Akufo-Addo has appointed Mr. Osei Prempeh as new GOIL CEO.
But Mr Asumaning stated emphatically that GOIL "is not aware of the observance of such processes".
Read the full statement:
STATEMENT BY GOIL BOARD ON APPOINTMENT OF A NEW CEO
Information available to the GOIL Board per a publication on Ghanaweb on Friday, the 24th of February, 2017 captioned "Nana Addo Picks New Heads for Forestry Commission, Ghana Health Service and GOIL" indicates that the new CEO appointed for GOIL is one Mr. Osei Prempeh.
The Board would like to draw the attention of the SHAREHOLDERS and the public to the fact that GOIL is a public listed company on the Ghana Stock Exchange with its own Regulations. The Regulations state the process through which a CEO can be appointed or removed.
The Board would like to state emphatically that it is not aware of the observance of such processes as stated in the regulations leading to the appointment of any CEO and that we as a Board have not made any such appointment.
SIGNED.
Prof. William Asumaning (Board Chairman)

PATAPAA GOVERNMENT. WHEN THEY ARE IN OPPOSITION THEY BELIEVE THE RULE OF LAW AND WHEN IN GOVERNMENT THEY DO THE OPPOSITE.
Your role as require due diligence and you have not received and official communication but you have jump to mere newspaper as if you work by hearsay.
What are they protesting against? Where is the letter from the Presidency that says that CEO has been sacked? Where is that communication? I am disappointed in the Board. So disappointed. To issue a statement of such importance merely on the basis of a new media report........Incredible!!
The President was well aware of a board before the appointment of the new CEO. Because of nokofio that you have enjoyed during mahama era, you still want to keep on enjoying the corrupt nokofio, you are kidding me. You have to go mr board chairman once you disagree with the president of the nation.
I HEREBY DESOLVE THE GOIL BOARD. BOARD CHAIREMAN, YOU CAN GO TO HELL OR GO AND DRINK EVERY WATER IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. WHO BORN DOG.
