The Management of Ghana Gas Company Limited (GGCL) says it is overstaffed and there is the need to urgently conduct a man-power audit.
The man-power audit would ascertain whether or not staff strength aligned with roles and duties and as such every staff was working efficiently.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company, Ms. Judith Adwoba Blay who disclosed this at a media training for journalist in Takoradi estimated the current staff strength of the company to close to 1300.
Ms. Judith Blay indicated that, the current staff strength of the company would not have come into question if the GPP2 had come on board.
But for a GPP1 to have a whopping 1300 staff raises questions and the need for an urgent man-power audit to ascertain whether every staff was working efficiently.
According to her, as at the end of 2017, the total staff strength of the company was less than 300. But this number has ballooned for the last eight years up to almost 1,300.
Government of Ghana has initiated plans to add another Gas plant to the already Atuabo plant. The new plant (GPP2) would bring to two, plants owned and maintained by Ghana Gas. The new plant would serve as additional plant to complement the GPP1.
The CEO revealed that the new plant would be built and maintained by Engineers of the company.
Ms. Adwoba Blay lauded the engineering skills of the company Engineers. “The set of engineers we have at Ghana Gas today, they are the only engineers who are so equipped and empowered to do what they do and they do it with passion,” she added.
