Mr Ambassador, please the concession is not the best option for strengthening ECG. Besides the amount of money involved is a peanut compared to the value of ECG as it stands now. I admit ECG needs a shake up but not what America is pushing Ghana to. What is even more worrying is that, there's no success story of the kind of partnership being proposed . Please leave Ghanaians to manage their affairs

Can America dictate to a CPP government?Never,and that is why they do not want the CPP to be in power in Ghana.They are comfortable dealing with NDC and NPP governments because they easily succumb to their demands.

ECG Privitrazation will be the end of Ghana as we know it.All that the United States government want is to make Ghana poor.When electricity in Ghana falls in America hands for thirty years we as Ghanaians are doomed. You think electricity is expensive now wait until the Americans take over.stupid and visionless Ghanaian leaders.Always corrupt and just think about themselves.This so call leaders are bunch of thieves who do not think about the future generation.They want to sell everything with Ghana's name on it just to take their cut.The United States government knows ndc will loss the elections this year so they want Mahama to honour his promise to them before he leaves office. Shameful. God bless our home land Ghana.Amen.

That. And they are now wanting to buy it. I guess, they want to own Ghana. Don't listen to the USA. A nation that jses faith for political campeign failures. Instead of fate. They are trying to make the world thinks, they are the kingdom of God. In the bible, after the kingdoms of good and evil has pass away, comes the kingdom of God. Which is revelation 14.

ECG is one of the most inefficient state institutions if not the most inefficient, u go their offices and u see most workers idling about, I would have even preferred an outright sale but i think a better option would have been listing it on the ghana stock exchange to let ghanaians own it with government being a minority shareholder

I agree with your statement. As the sensible Acting- Director of TOR says-----the solution is not a sellout. We should improve management and get rid of all idling workers ,after giving them a chance to improve ,and paying them monthly for work done. As a nation we cannot give our energy supply in to the hands of a private firm If we learn we can we can help ourselves . Gov. should however allow a firm to produce and sell energy ,at its own risk , in addition to our own effort.

Hmm, why would Ghanaians die for the country when democracy has been franchised in Washington DC? Ghanaians are paying for government incompetence and inefficiencies.

The privatization of the ECG is no more necessary as they are now recovering full cost from the public. ECG can now finance itself and replace aging equipment. They must also be able to set aside money to pay back to the GovernmentThe other aspect of that earlier need was the injection of technical know how
What is needed now is The Business process analysis. On the back of this they must pursue ISO certification. Or else set aside funds to consult Deloitte or KPMG.

loans when taken must only be used for capital injection. Not for capacity building or prepare the grounds for a take over. You can not short change Ghana. The ambassador must stay off
