Consolidated Bank Ghana Limited (CBG) has a new Board of Directors, which was inaugurated by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
Dr. Ato Forson, who spoke during the swearing-in event, reminded the board that CBG is a representation of the state’s involvement, which allegedly cost GH₵30 billion to save and rebuild trust in the financial industry.
“I have assured the board of the government’s commitment to recapitalize CBG in the coming year. However, it is equally important that this board safeguards taxpayers’ money, as you have been entrusted with a crucial national asset,” he charged.
Additionally, the Finance Minister emphasized that the present administration will not tolerate the practice of high wages and board allowances at State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
Mr. Ernest Mawuli Agbesi, the recently chosen Chairman of the Board, conveyed his appreciation for the chance to once again serve the country.
He praised the government’s determination to recapitalize the bank and promised that the board would put forth great effort to provide value to the Ghanaian people and the government.
The recently established CBG Board is made up of:
• Mr. Ernest Mawuli Agbesi — Chairperson
• Dr. Naomi Wolali Kwetey — Managing Director
• Ms. Irene Ackuaku — Member
• Mr. David Adom — Member
• Mr. Michael Kwasi Anyamesem — Member
