A significant leadership transition is underway at the Compagnie Énergie Électrique du Togo (CEET), Togo’s national electricity company. Débo-K’mba Barandao has been removed from his position as Director General, an unconfirmed but widely reported development.
While no official statement has yet clarified the reasons behind this decision, his departure occurs at a time when CEET consistently grapples with challenges in electricity provision and the overall quality of its service across the national grid.
Appointed in March 2022, Débo-K’mba Barandao was entrusted with spearheading various reforms within the public utility, focusing on both organizational and operational improvements. His tenure at the helm of the institution was marked by several restructuring initiatives.
As a pivotal entity in Togo’s energy landscape, CEET has endured persistent difficulties over many years, notably frequent power outages and the critical need to modernize its aging infrastructure.
For the moment, authorities have not announced a successor. A new appointment is anticipated in the coming days to guarantee the continuity of essential services.
