They said the incompetence of the Managing Director has dwindled the fortunes of the nation's power generating company.
They also accuse their MD of breaching procurement processes.
“The Managing Director has been in office for close to two (2) years and has shown lack of vision for the Company. This has been evidenced by misplaced priorities which has led to the unavailability of critical materials such as meters, service cables conductors, prepaid vending accessories, maintenance materials, which has caused delays in connecting and supplying customers who have paid for such services.
“[Another] clear example of [misconduct] is the awarding of contracts of some Six (6) substations where the recommendations of the evaluation committee were sidestepped and awarded to other companies,” the Junior and Senior Staff Unions said in a statement.
Reacting to the workers initial agitation, Mr Agyeman-Budu, described the accusations and allegations against him as untrue.
He insisted the company, under his leadership initiated the one-day, one-service for new meters for customers
