The appointment of former Deputy Attorney-General Joseph Dindiok Kpemka as Deputy Managing Director of Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Limited Company (BOST) has been deemed unconstitutional by former Energy Minister, Dr. Kwabena Donkor.

The Pru East MP claimed that President Nana Akufo-Addo lacks constitutional support to appoint someone to a limited liability company during an interview on Prime News on Citi FM on Saturday, May 19.

Kwabena Donkor pleaded with the President to appoint people in accordance with the law.

“BOST is a limited liability company and there is a procedure for appointing officers and because it is a limited liability company, appointments must be governed by the Companies Act (992). The Presidency has no business in appointing CEOs or Deputy MDs or senior officers to any limited liability company.

“There is also the SIGA Act which also does not give the Presidency any appointing powers for limited liability companies.

“There is a procedure and as a people and as a nation, we must learn to respect the law, particularly coming from the Presidency. I have a lot of respect for the President but the Presidency is getting it totally wrong.”

He clarified that AGMs, not executive orders or notices, are the only means of appointing people to limited liability companies.

“To appoint a senior officer to a limited liability company, you have to go through the route of an AGM [Annual General Meeting].”
