Staff of the Accra East branch of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) on Monday morning embarked on a strike in protest against the Managing Director of the company. The workers are asking for the removal of the MD, Mr Kwame Agyeman Budu with the argument that he was "incompetent" and that his continuous stay in office will collapse the company. In a radio interview on Accra based Citi FM, a customer who had gone to the Accra East branch to transact business but could not do so because of the strike, “I am here to seek clarity on some challenges I am having with my meter but when I arrived here I was told they are embarking on a demonstration. This will not help the customers.”
