EAGB workers accuse management of harmful practices
Staff at Guinea-Bissau's electricity and water company cite poor decision-making and rights violations.
Employees of the Empresa de Eletricidade e Águas da Guiné-Bissau (EAGB) have reported alleged mismanagement, warning of a potential deep crisis impacting public services. The union president, António Ramalhano, publicly announced these concerns on Monday, November 9, 2026, in Bissau.
The EAGB's base workers' union accused the current director-general of concentrating excessive decision-making power, violating worker rights, and disregarding internal company rules. Ramalhano stated that a single person now makes all decisions, leaving directors without effective intervention capacity.
Unionists warned that years of accumulating management problems are compromising the company's normal operations and service quality. They claim the administration acts outside the law, ignoring company regulations and statutes.
