The Chief Executive Officer of the Bui Hydro Energy Development Project, Mr. Fred Oware, has been asked to proceed on leave effective June, 1,2009.

A former employee of the Volta River Authority (VRA) Jabesh Amissah-Arthur has been asked to take over from him.

Mr Oware led a team that had oversight responsibility for the project, the building of the Bui Dam to provide a backup for the country’s pressurised energy.

The project also included the Bui city which will have all facilities of a modern city: an international airport, a state-of-the-art golf course and residential facilities.

Mr Oware served in various positions in the previous administration including a membership on the Mary Chinery-Hesse Committee on emuluments for outgoing government officials in 2004.
