Energy Minister-designate, Boakye Agyarko has appointed Hassan Tampuli as a caretaker Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of the National Petroleum Authority on behalf of the President.

Hassan Tampuli was a Lawyer for Ghanaian-Lebanese journalist and author Fadi Daboussi, and a known NPP loyalist who was invited by the BNI for a defamatory comment made about former President, John Mahama.

The letter which was copied Moses Asaga, was silent over when the move takes effect.

Part of the letter read: “It is my pleasure to inform you that His Excellency,  President of the Republic has appointed you caretaker CEO of the NPA. You will act in that capacity until a substantive CEO is approved. As a caretaker CEO you will not take decisions that will  have policy implications until a substantive governing board is in place. You may refer such policy related decisions to the Ministry for prior approval”
