    This is a positive move. The new company will have to absorb all the liabilities of ECG and start afresh. There is no way customers will pay estimated costs. Secondly, the average consumption/kilowatt used by ECG is outrageo ...

    Once you digitize and install prepaid meter, why do you need a third party to engage in any billing and collection? Should everything not be end-to-end integrated, seamless and automated?

    you are all fools and bankrupt of innovative ideas ,
    rolling out the pre-paid meter policy nationwide alone could solve 85% of Human and corruption error.

    The state capture people will bring their relatives and friends with no peswa to take over ECG and use the same workers for personal gain and further run ECG into bankruptcy. Remember PDS.

    These criminals are bent on looting the state enterprise at all cost. After the failed PDS stupidity, they have resurrected and want to do the unthinkable. Time will tell.
    I implore all ECG staff to vote against them.

    Another PDS again. NPP never learns

  • ofi Adu 3 weeks ago

    ECG itself must be privatized. It has been a good mine for the employees of the company. Or it can be decentralized. Meaning each region must have their own electricity companies.
