In social media post, political commentator affiliated with the New Patriotic Party and columnist P.K. Sarpong alleged that the Electricity Company of Ghana engaged the services of two lawyers, Dr. Dominic Ayine and Edudzi Tameklo, during the eight-year administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. According to him, these legal representatives played a key role in justifying ECG’s procurements, which, he claims,. were undertaken without the necessary approvals from the Public Procurement Authority(PPA).
P.K Sarpong further asserted that the two lawyers were compensated in thousands of dollars for their services to ECG. He suggested that if the state-owned power distributor is currently facing public scrutiny, responsibility should largely fall on the legal advisors who were involved in its transactions between 2017 and 2024.
“Let it be known to the entire Ghanaian public that for the 8 years of President Akufo-Addo, the Electricity Company of Ghana, ECG, employed the services of Dominic Ayine and Edudzi Tamakloe.
These two lawyers justified the numerous procurements by ECG without approvals from the Public Procurement Authority, PPA.
The duo were paid thousands of dollars by ECG for the services they rendered to it.
If today ECG is in the news for all the bad reasons, it is just fair that those who were their legal representatives ought to take the lion’s share of the blame.
These containers which were stationed at the Tema Port for months if not years because of contractual issues must be blamed on Ayine and Adudzi.
Sunshine must be brought to all the issues, angles and people who played pivotal roles in the mess that ECG found itself in.
The current Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine and Edudzi Tamakloe were integral figures in whatever decisions ECG’s management took between 2017 and 2024.”He wrote.
