The Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Mr Kwame Agyeman-Budu, has described accusations and allegations levelled against him by some staff of the company as untrue.

The staff alleged that the MD has been in office for close to two years and has shown lack of vision for the company.
But responding to the allegation, Mr. Agyeman-Budu said the allegations are untrue and that the company, under his leadership initiated the one-day, one-service for new meters for customers.
