According to the workers, Mr. Agyeman-Budu has not satisfactorily steered the affairs of the company since his appointment.
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.
“A clear example is the award 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.
