Power costs can reduce when VRA, ECG and the Ministry abstain from corruption and stop signing corrupt contracts.

legacy of the pepeni and his murder of mills is nothing but sorrow, misery and poverty while he and his cronies boldly continue to loot the country. this is understandable since they are not Akans, they do not care as they know the wealth of the nation does not belong to them , its a take/steal money and run mentality that drives them. They have no solutions because they are too feeble minded and reality deep down they know its only by theft , trickery , election engineering /rigging , ideological lies and camouflage that they are there now and know it can not last . The national security is going round spreading the word they have the supreme court under control and have ensured the petition will not succeed , i guess they are able to blackmail the judges after all so there will be no justice . The national security has an interest to keep pepeni in place as there is not a single corruption act that goes on whereby they dont have a cut . they know if pepeni goes over 80% of them will be out of a job as thats the first place any true patriotic govt will clean up. we know all this will sooner or later lead to war and we are ready , long live the republic of Akan

State enterprises are deadly sin.No nation does it,unless the finance ministry is run by a monkey. Valco is a drain on an already scanty resource and must not continue on the old premise of cheap electricity from VRA. It is a feel good plant that captures the emotions of the old state capitalism but does not fit well in the nation's current economic architeture. The multi-nationals have sold their stake and long gone, and why?

For the record, it must be stated that Valco did not invest even one cent in the construction of the Akosombo Hydroelectric Plant - not in 1960, not since! The project was funded wholly from our own resources.

The price of aluminium is surging upwards to record levels. Although it is expected to eventually get lower according to the principle of supply and demand (market glut plus low demand), nations such as Venezuela and Spain are taking full advantage of the current high prices and increasing production.

May Ghana's Valco learn from the world market and cash in too before the crash.

In any case, state-owned companies should be cut off from excessive state support and be run as fully independent and profitable enterprises enterprises, responsible for their own survival. The state should stop the state-capitalist model and encourage these enterprises to restructure as worker, self-managed entities along the lines of the Spanish Mondragon corporate cooperatives or the former Yugoslavian and Argentinian examples of worker-owned and self-managed enterprises.

You want to establish an aluminum smelting plant in Ghana, and you are already crying about the only existing one's use of power. Why don't you blokes plan well so that there will be enough energy to make all of them possible to move Ghana forward. Free sunshine abound in Ghana. What is preventing you guys from establishing solar plants to provide clean energy to power these plants? You are only good in devising means of stealing State money and sharing amongst yourselves while the majority of your citizens live in abject poverty.

Ghana is a sick country. A small country endowed with every resource one can think of yet we cant make anything good for ourselves. Rivers run from the North to the South. Cant we build minor dams for sectorial electric power supply. Talk about the wind. Wind activity transcent the entire nation yet Akosombo power is the main source of nations power for over 50 yers. As for solar energy' its something that could be utilized even during raining season. KNUST HAS BEEN IN ESISTENCE FROM WHEN?...... ARE THE WHITES AND ASIANS MORE INTELLIGENT THAN THE BLACKS? What is our problem? Do you now agree with me that Ghana is sick?

VALCO agreement gave birth to Akosombo so the way forward is to go back to the 'Yanks' and say sorry we got it wrong ' we were trying to run before we could walk. I'm sure they will forgive us.
