George Okley Mensah, former BOST managing director, is dead
The death of Okley Mensah, a former managing director of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company, occurred after a brief illness
A former managing director of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST) Company Ltd, George Okley Mensah, has died after a short illness.
A reliable source who confirmed his passing said he died at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra on Monday.
The late energy expert was seen last week on the campaign trail in the Krowor constituency entreating delegates to kick out the incumbent MP, Elizabeth Afoley Quaye, in the NPP’s parliamentary primaries.
The effort failed, as Quaye, the Minister of Fisheries, won the keenly contested seat by three votes.
Okley Mensah was appointed by President Akufo-Addo in 2017 to act as managing director for the state-owned entity following the removal from office of his predecessor, Alfred Obeng Boateng.
He gave his resignation to the president in August 2019 but the reasons for his resignation were not stated.
According to Graphic Online his resignation may have been linked to the issue of contracts at BOST.
The native of Nungua in the Greater Accra Region left behind a wife and four children.
