So we gonna take this $500 million bribe as a grant to ONLY spend it on a national property that they want to buy from us as a condition and we had agreed to it?
Lack of political will to restructure ECG ourselves by demanding leaner and robust management is our problem.
We overloaded the payroll with family members and party foot soldiers so therefore we do not know who to sack in order to save our institutions then the IMF/WB takes advantage of the situation to force us to sell before they could help us. A help we DO NOT need if only we could put our feet down like how Ethiopia runs its Ethiopian Airways to become the largest and number one in Africa.
Now the people that we do not want to sack,will get sacked anyway as the US company want their 700% profit bottom line.
Ghana Telecom went down the same way as we could not sack and retrench unnecessary workers from top down and many ghost workers for political contribution to both party funds but the whites came to Ghana Telecom and had the axe fell on 3000 real and ghost workers.
And the pressure from shareholders of VODAFON who want high profit on their investment are NOT allowing the company to reinvest in Ghana, and as a result of that, the land-line project had been put on ice as if we do not need it?

Sale of ECG isn't in Ghana's interest. I don't think even Mahama wants it, but, thanks to his incompetent management of the economy, his hands have been forced into this. We're un trouble. This private entity will be given guarantees regarding future price increases & profits & I'll be very surprised if they are given task of rural electrification. They'll get to cherry pick only the profitable areas of electricity supply. The Ghanauan consumer & businesses are going to pay the price for this useless govt's failings. It also sends out a message that Ghanaians are incapable of managing anything. All those govt sycophants are going to learn the hard way, unless they have already stolen their fill, which would exclude all those 'foot soldiers' who'd only get poorer. Useless Mahama has set Ghana back 15 years.

It is obvious that and American company would be selected but the government keeps on telling people that they are going to open the bid for all interested international companies.

The corrupt hands in our system are already honing their skills to take advantage of the ECG sale. True, our government is not the best entity to run a power distribution company, and even not a power generation company, and the prospect of selling ECG is commendable. Nevertheless, a transparent and independent evaluation of the current value should be obtained to prepare the government to price ECG based on its anticipated future value. All the corrupt hands should be kept out or better cut off to spare Ghana being raped again and again.

The U.S. has a state owned electricity company and has the U.S. brought back the nuclear reactor she stole from us. So the U.S. overtly deprived us of the ability to produce electricity and is coming to tell us who should use it and who should not use it. All Ghanaians must rise up against the privatization of of ECG. The owners of the multinational corporations in the U.S. who are whites are opposed to the Negro making use of electricity, much more to use it for production. If they come in the erratic nature of power supply will increase rather than decrease.

ECG to be privatize is a good idea.There will be competition and it will eliminate laziness from the workers.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with a lot of the comments here. In any of the advanced countries, the governments do not run any of the for-profit organizations. just think about it and see if you can name one govt department in the US, UK, Germany that makes profit...none. Most things in the US are privatized. it is only in the communist countries that the governments have state run companies. Even with them, how well are they doing; Cuba, North Korea... They are the only two communist country but then Cuba is opening up its market. Please dont say China cos China has a semi communist government that has opened the markets for private entities to run their own companies. if the government is selling ECG, that is OK so long as the $500 million does not end up in politicians pockets. Also, the Ghana government has always been screwed when it comes to negotiating contracts with international companies. The govrnment should think about Join the list of countries that uses the UN CISG. That is one way the countries like Ghana would be on a level playing field when negotating with international governments or companies.

Those who are saying that ECG should not be privatized are animals and not human beings.

Ghana need competent workers but not privatization. If so then Ghana itself must be privatize. God help us this shows that man cannot manage his affairs.

A company that provides electricity to the country should NOT be privatized, and CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE OWNED BY FOREIGNERS!! The best way is to run it as businesses are run in the west: basic salary to management, no bungalows, no cars, etc. But if they make a profit, then bonuses are paid to them, the bigger the profit, the bigger the bonus!!!

Ghana Telecom fetched $ 900 million to become VODAPHONE. Now the ball is in Haduna's own court. We wait to see if ECG will fetch $ 900 million ?
