The Ministry of Energy has officially withdrawn the appointment of John Ayiku Ocansey as the Acting Deputy Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), citing an inadvertent error in the initial communication.
In a letter dated March 18, 2025, and addressed to the Acting Managing Director of ECG, the ministry referenced its earlier letter (Ref. No. ZA.6/247/01) issued on March 17, 2025, which had introduced Ocansey to the role.
However, the ministry has now retracted that directive, stating that it was inadvertently written and is therefore nullified.
Signed by the Minister of Energy, John Abdulai Jinapor (MP), the letter supersedes the previous communication and has been copied to the Secretary to the President at Jubilee House and the Human Resource Manager of ECG.
The ministry has not provided further details on why the earlier appointment was made in error or whether a new candidate will be named for the position.
This development raises questions about internal decision-making processes within the ministry and ECG, as well as the future leadership of the state power distributor.
