Ghana faces a real-time risk of fuel shortage hitting the country as workers of state-owned Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company BOST threaten to lay down their tools over poor management decisions by their Managing Director, Edwin Provencal, who allegedly earns more than 1.35 million Ghana Cedis as a net salary. The Managing Director, Edwin Provencal is said to have unilaterally issued a memo dated 25th March 2022 to impose “austerity measures” on all Staff without any consideration for the inputs of the staff Unions who are key stakeholders. Some staff say benefits they started enjoying under the Kwame Awuah-Darko administration have all but vanished under successive MDs and will not sit aloof and allow Provencal to “finish” them. “In solidarity with members who heard this demoralizing news by the Managing director, we ask you to put on red hand band until further notice,” the Union Statement said.
