The vision for the bank is not going to change, we have a business plan that we have been implementing and am going to continue to implement that.

We have put the boardroom wrangling behind us, there are no boardroom wrangling anymore. We are all going to work together to improve the lots of the bank that is our objective and I believe that is the objective of Republic Bank as well and I welcome Republic Bank as shareholders of HFC Bank.”

But Osei Asafo Adjei’s appoinment was to last a few hours.

A few hours after the announcement by Asare Akuffo the board of the bank agreed to appoint Robert Le Hunte as its substantive MD.

Citi Business News has learnt his appointment takes effect from July this year and will be acting as MD from now till that date.

Robert L. Le Hunte is a graduate of Economics of the University of Western Ontario, Canada.

He holds an MBA from the University of Manchester, UK and an MSc. in Accounting from the University of West Indies.

He is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Trinidad and Tobago and serves as the President of the Barbados Bankers Association.

Meanwhile industry players are hopeful the latest development will bring to an end the long board room battle between the bank and its majority shareholder Republic bank.

The two have been embroiled in a long battle over the acquisition of shares in the bank.
