The NPP cannot pertain to be very or too concern about the plight of Ghanaian, when in reality they have teamed up with their cronies within ECG to sabotage government in very dubious ways.

Least we do not forget, when the uncivilized and foul mouthed, Sir John on behalf of the NPP promised to make this country ungovernable for our well meaning President Mahama.

They have tried ever since but with time, all their secrets shall come to bear.

When some of you nonsensically take issues out of context and want to score cheap political marks out of it, you rather end up doing the avoidable of misleading people. And it is only the unfortunate ill-discerning in this regard.

The President meant no harm by what he said, he only sought to mean, paying the price equivalent for quality service and that has been the case, until the surrogates of the NPP within ECG started messing up...

But whatever their ploy is...it would not suffice. God is solidly behind the President.

Mahama as a person has no clue about managing the economy, and rely on half baked students like fiifi kwatey , Ato Gordon, Paa Akwasi whose understanding of pure economic is weak.i keep saying, NDC dont ve the intelligent men to manage the economy, all what they care is to remain in power to misuse the state resources and when you say this , Mahama said we are insulting him.that guy is just a waste

We complained of Dumsor now we are complaining about the bills we generate. Yet we pay more to engage in pointless phone conversations and dole out most of our salaries to mobile phone companies. So it seems we are willing to pay when the provider is a private organisation. Compare your phone bill to your electricity bill and ask yourself, which one is more important?
What is the fair price for electricity? Ghanaians are already paying less for their energy. Of course, expect to pay more for uninterrupted supply of energy.
ECG is sabotaging the government. It may not be intentional but they are.
It used to be that NDC is causing Dumsor. Now that the Dumsor problem has been solved, the smear campaign has shifted from Dumsor to killer electricity bills.
Why has ECG chosen this time to install new software anyway? The minister for energy must be proactive in checking all processes before they are carried out.
ECG workers actually get an incentive when the lights are off because it means they can leave work early or they don't even have to come in. The government must review the processes, procedure and operating model of ECG to ensure that there are no benefits to workers when there is Dumsor.
The other incentive that is creating the lack of willingness of ECG to keep the lights on is that, they usually have lights on when the whole country has lights off. So why will they bother to keep the lights on for the rest of us?
We need a national debate on sustainable domestic power provision and consumption in Ghana.
We need to own the problem and tackle it collectively instead of blaming government.
Power supply is plagued by a multiplicity of factors cutting across all sectors of our country.
- Consumers waste a lot of power because of ignorance and not taking responsibility. They leave power appliances on or buy less energy efficient appliances.
- The government must regulate the types of electrical equipment manufacturers bring into the country. Import restrictions or levies should be considered.
- Alternatives sources of energy should be considered. I know government is working on solar but the average Ghanaian cannot afford it because of cost. Government must provide some form of grant to consumers.
- Ghanaians are paying unrealistically low prices for energy in Ghana. This is unsustainable. Institutions such as hospitals, schools and the security services should be subsidised for official use.
Industries or high consumption users should pay more for their power.
Private provision should not be limited to the big players alone. Everyone should be allowed to contribute energy to the national grid.
- Public transport. Our public transport system is so unreliable that everyone else uses a car to work. This is so inefficient. It is actually cheaper for the economy for the government to provide free bus services to and from work for public sector workers.
Workers can subscribe to the service and be issued passes that will enable them travel free to work and leave their cars at home. This, by the way, will also reduce the traffic congestion on our roads. We actually waste most of our energy just sitting in traffic. It does not make any sense.
- Our building architecture. Why do we shut our windows, build houses with open kitchens, turn the stoves on, turn on our air conditions to cool our homes because we are heating them and preventing circulation of air? I think the government is overestimating the intelligence of an average Ghanaian. Believe it or not, people need to be told not to do that.
- Security and armed robbery. People lock themselves up in the homes as though they were in prison for fear of being attacked by armed robbers. You can leave your windows or doors open at night else you will be attacked. The only way is to lock up, and turn the fan and air condition on. Creating avenues for ventilation means risking letting in armed robbers. Also, the outside lights must be left one overnight to deter criminals from breaking and entry. These outside/street flash lights are very energy hungry. Apart from indiscipline on our roads, the other reason why we need streets lights to deter criminal behaviour.
- Recreation. We have no public places where one can relax except in the drinking bar. No parks – they have all been neglected. So we stay at home and leave the TV turned on 24 hours a day. Even if we are not watching, we put the TV on standby and go to work. That is alone contributes about GH 10 to our electricity bill. We don’t read, we only watch TV and listen to radio that seek to reverse all the knowledge we have acquired from schooling to be replaced by criminality, corrupt mind sets and indiscipline.
- Our dressing. So a three-piece suit in the middle of a warm savannah weather is not cool. You will need an air conditioner and a fan to prevent yourself from overheating and passing out. So if you dress up, you will need your air conditioner, both in your car and at home, on full blast to stay alive.
- Our roads, dust and noise pollution. How can one keep their windows open for fresh air when a 24 hour salvation enterprise called a church is in full session with drums blazing?
How can one keep their windows open when there is a dusty road near by choking their poor lungs? Dust actually kills.
How can one drive in an energy efficient saloon car when our roads are full of potholes? A V8 gas guzzler will do, thank you very much.
- Theft. A substantial proportion of Ghana is using electricity for free. You just need the right network and connection at the ECG and you will enjoy free energy.
Why would anyone bother to switch off their air conditioner when they don't have to pay for energy?
So the energy problem is not a government only problem. Ghanaians must take full ownership and responsibility. Until then, our energy problems are here to stay.

@Earl Jones, you spent so much energy, time and space to make a shallow, straw man argument just to absolve an incompetent regime of its inexorable failures and then blame the poor man on the streets. Who then takes responsibility for the promulgated new energy levies? And how conveniently it was for you to have omitted government's indebtedness to the sector running into billions which is threatening the very survival ECG? Your boot licking sycophancy beggers believe.

What ministry is ECG under? Who controls the procurement process in Ghana ? Who appointment the ECG chairman and people like Allotey Jacobs on ECG boards? If NDC people can answer these questions I will be very happy. If the government is involved in all these and turn around to blame ECG, is either Mahama is not in control of Ghana anymore, he is involve in this mess, he is not a leader, or just purely incompetent. This situation is like a headmaster complaining that teachers in the school are sabotaging him/her because the children's parents want the headmaster to be sacked.

These thieves are aware of all their contingencies and damage control tricks but come what may the people have have the thumbs( kokromoti power).Ghanaians don't have short memories as the politicians always predicted. Being able to swing politicians and toss them from left to right ,right to left and making them lose elections alone is an achievement for the ordinary Ghanaian. We the decision makers will cut short the expectations of these crop of politicians until another time when the time is conducive for the good and genuine ones to grab the fort to the benefit of All Ghanaians
