Other members of the board include Teye Adjrackor, Kwabena Mantey Nyarko, Mad Philomena Sam, Francis Kofi Nunoo, and Grp Cpt Gervase Wienad.

The appointment comes barely a month after the staff of the company agitated over alleged mismanagement, internal procurement breaches and welfare management issues demanding the removal of Managing Director.

The workers demanded the immediate release of their locked-up deductions for Staff Welfare, Insurance, Credit union, and SSNIT benefits.

The demand followed a physical assault of a worker by the Managing Director for the company Yaw Kwakwa during a staff meeting over their 13-month arrears.
