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”.

The whole show is who can do the job and not stomach chiefs in-vending.if it is about PROFESSORS, THEN THERE ARE A LOT IN BEYIN,ATUABO, BAKU, EIKWE AND ECT. there is no need of professor from Nsein.among all the thousands.
I think a different charge will do, Dr Asante with bad human relations?NEVER!! Ask the staff if they are not happy. That man is smart, firm and will not condone corruption. May be the days of people getting free money is over. Chiefs should stay out of politics and leave brains to work!!!
Surprised at the Nzema Chiefs. They should leave the President to work and stop these I don't like this man attitude. Ebei
Dr Sefa Yankey and ***barred word*** are Nzemas and their previous engagement may have an influence.
Hello oooo....The president is appointment a CEO for Ghana Gas not Nzema Gas. If the chiefs want to be the appointing authority then they should abdicate their stools and run for the presidency. What kind of indiscipline is this??? Bogus chiefs...
Those chiefs are nothing bribe takers and should shut the H3LL UP
What is wrong with these Chiefs? A chemical Engineer and a Forestry graduate. Do they understand the task ahead?
