PUWU workers want GWCL Board Chair Afenyo Markin sacked

Members of the Public Utility Workers Union (PUWU) of the Ghana Water Company Limited in the Ashanti Region, are calling for the immediate dismissal of their Board Chairman, Afenyo Markin.

The members are also demanding the removal of the 3rd Deputy Managing Director of the Company.

They have tied banners at entrances of the company in Kumasi, calling for the dismissal of the two officers.

It is unclear why the members are embarking on such a protest. 

They have declined comment on the matter saying their national executives are mandated to speak on it.

According to Citi News’ report, some GWCL offices in the region observed that “red bands are tied at the main entrance of the Ashanti Regional North office of the Ghana Water Company at Suame here in Kumasi.”

He said there were banners with inscriptions such as "Save Ghana Water Company Limited operations" "Ghana Water Company Limited workers say Board Chairman must go." "No to third deputy MD operations" "Chop chop must stop now" at the entrance of the company.

“This banner is replicated in most of the offices of the company like the Kumasi East and the regional office of the company  visited."  

Acording to the report, the protest is nationwide against the third Deputy MD of the company and the Board Chairman of the Ghana Water Company Limited.

Alexander Afenyo Markin, is also the Member of Parliament for Efutu in the Central region.
