I am pure NPP but I do support the privatization of EGC, KORLE-BU and all those government institutions that only drains government revenue. That is how the US and all other great economies work. Private owners will have better outcome than these so called corrupt government workers.

I don't know anybody in this modern world who will say we should keep ill performing organizations like ECG and many others while government keeps wasting money on lazy workers who are only interested in buying expensive cars and building mansions.
Just sell it together with others such as VRA,SHC and many others which are just burden on tax payers.

HELPLESSNESS, HOPELESSNESS & FEELING OF DESPONDENCY HAVE GRIPPED MANY IN GHANA TODAY.
GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY THESE NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA;-- EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA,NDC US$20 MILLION PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT TO MRS RAWLINGS AND HER COMPANY, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK,BRAZIL WORLD CUP SCANDAL, FREE EXPENSIVE CARS FOR CHIEFS, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FOR NOT ATTENDING. NPP REMAIN SMART AND VIGILANT!!!

It is a good move tor the government to sell the ECG. For these reasons
1/. Government is not good doing business
2/. Government can put pressure on private sectors to perform
3/. Government does not have to spent lots of money to keep it running
4/. Government can collect taxes on electricity and use the money for other things. And above all, hold ECG responsible for any failures. Where did this prof get his degrees from? Stop this text book application and apply common sense. His model does not work. Be realistic

They pulled down the then Flag staff house because Nkrumah lived there; only to rebuild the same place with a 419 loan from India. These Dankwa/ Busia’s have sold everything we have and have contributed nothing.
When have they said yes or done something which is good to be emulated or beneficial.
What do they say yes?
Per Diem YES
Cocaine Trade YES
Wee Smoking YES
Womanising YES
Insults and Backbiting YES
Shallow Litigation YES
Boycotting YES
Selling state Assets YES
Stealing State assets YES
Demonstration and Protest YES
Their headquarters is an “abattoir” now; where they butcher themselves in the name of power. Ooooh !!! What is wrong with the chemical constituents that form the brain of these Dankwa/ Busia’s? Is there no elderly among them? Or did their fathers died with all the sense which will guide them today? Well a decorated monkey remains a monkey ; like father like son. None have morals .They behave like ostriches pretending all is fine when it is in their favour but cannot stand their opponents when the ball changes hand. How on earth can they end up in a hair dressing salon for a loan? They are so lazy, dull witted and incompetent, majority of them finished school with no certificates and cannot even remember which school they attended. INCREDBLE !!!
Everything they know about economics is buying and selling. Creativity has eluded them; they only result to insult when they are at their wits end. “PATAPAA” is a common characteristics of them to cover their shameful silly behaviour. Their silly self-esteemed and endemic mental slavery, which was handed down to them by their forefathers, is what is still holding this country aback. When thinkers are trying to fix problems, all you can see these sons of anarchist doing is manufacturing how to destroy.

...Mike Ocquaye has damned government’s intension to sell the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG)....and thanks for the inside information.
My question: is this sale official? and just intent to sell doesn't mean anything.
Then again if Mr. or Prof. Ocquaye concludes his case by saying "Strategic partner with energy expertise in revenue mobilisation is what the ECG needs to deliver on its core mandate, and not [to sell it]," Where is the minister of energy(nrg)to create a variety of quality improvement initiatives ?
The nrg minister is nowhere...lost, and that means no "ROAD MAP" for his ministry. a good example is, the GNPC N NRG ministry. GNPC as Self-ruling Initiator, overrides the minister NRG totally. GNPC can loan millions of dollars without the consent of the ruling government, and we are all happy about it. Sorry about this few comment, because of incompetency on our government.
In brief,What is in need is integrity. Integrity is the corner stone of good governance. Fostering integrity and preventing corruption in the public sector support a level playing field for businesses and is essential to maintaining trust in government.
A NOTE to NDC:
The “Divestiture,” issue: selling partially or all state own corporations and shifting the burden of economic growth from the government to the private Ghanaian sector and at the same time cutting down government spending and promote private production have its own consequences.
For divestiture there are no easy and quick fixes and the deal is so complex whereby the incur revenue is disproportional to the expected reward. Buyers, investment bankers, and industry and functional specialists need to protect their interest in other to have greater pie. At the end, Ghana stands at a lost.
Selling state own corporations to pay off “national debts” is not the answer.
Privatization does not reduce the stock of our national debt. It gives away the national asset. It also reduces revenue to the state and never increases competition.
The divestiture never enshrines the mandate of the regions to stimulate, advance, and strengthen the small-industrial resource based on Ghanaian economy, or ever provides the best guarantee to discuss relevant issues facing the region.

Hello Professor Mike, I think you have to clear you mind from socialism where the state owns everything. I think the best thing to do is to sell the ECG to private entity and I bet you the employees will behave well on their jobs and deliver to the nation. The nation will not loose as the private ECG will pay taxes to the government. Dear Mahama, even though I do not see your competence of governing and do not like the way you have brought Ghana very low and not respected anywhere in the world. But as for the sale of ECG I do agree with you. Sell it.
