Chemical and Workers’ Union demands removal of 3 members from TOR’s board

The General Transport, Petroleum, Chemical, and Workers’ Union of the Trades Union Congress is demanding the removal of three board members of the Tema Oil Refinery.

These three members include David Tandoh Adomako, Leon Apenteng, and Edith Sapara-Grant.

The Union believes these directors have been compromised in the ongoing lease arrangement between Tema Oil Refinery and Torentco Asset Management Limited, now Tema Energy and Processing Limited.

Addressing the media, the National Chairman of the Union, Bernard Owusu, emphasized the need for immediate action to safeguard TOR.

“We call on the president to suggest the abrogation and termination of any ongoing discussions, intentions, agreements, or arrangements involving DC-Vitol/Baybridge Asset Management Limited (BAML)/Torentco Asset Management Limited (TAML) or TEPL or any person associated with these entities because they have demonstrated their inability to partner with TOR.”

“For the gross demonstration of incompetence, by colluding and condoning a conflict of interest and chasing after a nonexistent ghost in the shadow of a credible partner for almost 2 years, we plead that Mr. Leon Kendon Apenteng, Mrs. Edith Sapara Grant, and Mr. David Adomako be removed from the TOR’s Board for the lack of objectivity in the search for a credible partner for TOR.”

They also called on President Akufo-Addo to intervene to get TOR back on its feet.

“We are by this statement calling on the president to immediately put measures in place to get TOR to get back to refining crude again and bring relief to Ghanaians.”
