The Executive Director of the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA), Mr Stephen Asamoah Boateng, has explained that the presidential directive on the dissolution and reconstitution of statutory boards and corporations does not affect state-owned enterprises (SoEs) that are limited liability companies and those listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE).
Consequently, he said, SIGA had written to the Office of the Chief of Staff to issue a communique to that effect to help bring clarity to the matter.
Mr Boateng disclosed this in an interview with the Daily Graphic yesterday to throw more light on the directive issued by the Chief of Staff, Mrs Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, last Tuesday.
