I am not an authority on the work of board members but in this instance I will not blame the problem on "fishermen" being appointed to the Board of ECG. See a fisherman can be more efficient than a useless PhD holder. Certificates do not make a person wise and intelligent and we have seen it demonstrated in by the ordinary men and women who composed our constitution which has now become the football of the book-long people. I agree with you that the ECG has some of the most competent people in the world. I was so proud to see Ghanaian engineers from the ECG fixing electricity problems in Liberia and Sierra Leone to the marvel of the local people. Back in Ghana these same people are not in the field fixing the problems but have left the task to junior staff who are not that competent. Why is it that Ghanaians literally have to queue and sometimes bribe ECG staff before buying pre-paid meters? Why is it that customers are treated with contempt when they queue to buy credit for their pre-paid meters? Private business entities will disconnect any government facility that does not pay for the use of electricity.

Koku, why should the international community continue to waste their resources on sorry a** regime like one in power right now?
Simply put this country is under the leadership of his incompetent-in-chief JDM, that is the reason international community and majority of Ghanaians want a change.

What is Kabuki talking about? How were you able to become the deputy finance minister? You better shut up about what you don't know.

It is not good to sell the hen that lays the golden egg. The problem is not with ECG. It is rather with the government that put square pegs in round holes. The government can do better by firing officials who allow corruption under their noses. Then, there will be more discipline and efficiency.

Kuffuor knows he is responsible for the return of NDc as he dismantled the grassroots machinery of the party just because he wanted to secure Manhyia dominance over all Akans . The result like a lion whose teeth have been pulled made the Npp very ineffective , distrusted among the Fanti speaking Akans and the Twi speakers especially in the Brong Ahafo region . He succeeded in totally alienating the allies of the Fantis such as the Gas and Krobos. Now he sees the true opposition is no longer in the NPP but now freelancing and waiting for political violence escalating into war that NDC intends for us. He continued the corruption of friends family of his clandestine allies JJ/Mahama and now know we the third force will eventually gain power and punish him. Today we notice NDC campaigners now supporting NPP like Sekou Nkrumah under the pretext of anti corruption and incompetence but where we they even last year when most atrocities were being committed.Yes we grow stronger and this year is the year we will boot out all these useless greedy bastards and criminals in rivers of blood. You Kuffuor like your NDC were never loyal to the Akans or Ghanians for that matter. It is not dumsor that will defeat NDC rather the fact that that they are all empty shells with no common sense talk less any empathy for the misery of the people. Since the days of Solomon the qualities of successful leadership are well known. The Romans refined this and had an empire that lasted over a 1000 years and the elements are as follows . A great leader needs be among the top 5 % in wisdom that stems from almost divine perceptive justice , an expect in economics or today's macro economics , a general well versed in strategy and the art of war hence the title commander in chief , genuinely concerned for the welfare of the citizens hence the patriotism that stems from the loyalty to the majority of his subjects not the other way round as we see today etc. Pepeni/ayigbe idiots have no loyalty or love for no one except their own selfish tribalism/hegemony and thats why NDC will always fail as all they can promote is exploitation through corruption. If you cant even fix in peace time dumsor what will happen if there is an uprising or revolution involving millions . Their corrupt ministers are resigning because they need time to properly stash away their loot before the war starts. Donkor was one of the most corrupt and ashawo Dzifa after the port expansion deals and a few other things is one of the most richest women in Africa today. This selfish greedy corrupt minister is only a symptom of this criminal mafia full of anti Akan prejudice and hate. We pointed out last year that all their projects were burdened or tainted by immoral corrupt selfish greedy appetites of the ndc and the kleptomaniac brothers of pepeni omanhene. If these projects ever make it to parliament or the president they are normally half baked very flawed or contaminated as the monies that should have been invested in the project development were spent buying favor or bribing ndc foot-soldiers , bureaucrats , technocrats etc into compliance. Now pepeni realizes he has less than 2 months to actual start something spectacular that if it doesn't win him the elections at least secure him a sizable strong opposition. If there in no success story then NDC will be rejected en mass by the people and fall to 10% of support which will mean that party will never again be entrusted with the helm of government. Most ministers will end up in jail or exiled if there is a peaceful transition , if they cause war almost all of them and their families will die horrible deaths in the imminent cutlass revolution .

EWURABA DEPUTY MINISTER:

PLEASE.EVEN IF,THE ELECTRICITY CORPORATION GOES TO PRIVATE, IT WILL SILL NOT BE EFFICIENT.

WHO PRODUCES ENERGY FOR SUPPLY IN THE COUNTRY BY EEECTRICITY CORPORATION,IT IS IS THE VOLTA RIVER ATHOURITY, THAT HAS STILL FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ENERGY PROBLEMS FACING THE HYDROELECTRIC POWER GENERATION IN AKOSOMBO.

ARE WE STILL STILL SLEEPING, FAILING TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE.

PLEASE, LET US TRY TO KNOW WHERE THE MAIN PROBLEM IS, BEFORE STARTING TO THINK OF ECG GOING PRIVATE.

GET THE VRA RUNNING FIRST BEFORE MAKING SUCH A A BIG AND DANGEROUS MISTAKE.

OH GHANA, WHERE ARE WE HEADING TOO.

DO GHANAIANS REMEMBER GHANA WATER COMPANY? WE BROUGHT THE ISRAELIS AND THE DUTCH, BUT WHAT IS THE OUTCOME. FIRSTLY, LET THE ECG TELL THE PUBLIC WHY WE ARE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS AND SOLVE THAT FIRST. IS IT MONEY OR THE PROBLEM WITH THE WORKRES AND IF SO WHY. IS THE PROBLEM DUE TO MONEY? WILL MORE MONEY SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THEN PRODUCE A PAPER TO PROVE YOUR CASE AND HOW MORE MONEY WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FIRST DETERMINE WHY THE WORKERS ARE INEFFICIENT. REMEMBER WITH MORE MONEY, IT WILL BE THE SAME WORKRES WHO WILL DO THE WORK. WILL THE FINANCIER BRING HIS OWN WORKRES OR USE THE SAME INEFFICIENT WORKERS? DO WE REALLY KNOW THE PROBLEMS WITH ECG? THE LITTLE I KNOW ABOUT ECG IS THAT MY METER READS THE SAME BUT EACH TIME THEY BRING A BILL FOR PAYMENT. HOW THEY DO DO IT, I CANNOT TELL BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE. MY HOUSE IS IN A SMALL TOWN. GET A FORUM OF REGIONAL HEADS TO DEBATE THE PROBLEMS WITH ECG AND HOW THEY THINK THE PROBLEM COULD BE SOLVED BEFORE BRINGING OR BORROWING MORE MONEY. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BRING SOMEONE TO SOLVE THE ECG PROBLEMS, THE GROUP MUST KNOW THE CAUSES ELSE IT WILL BE A LOST VENTURE.

Ndc was brought to power on the basis of a manifesto. Was this policy part of its manifesto? If yes, let's see it. If no, govt can't do it because it's not part of the contract with vot

No where in the article did anyone say staff are inefficient. Stop the mischief and allow the system to be fixed.

This Woman has never made any economic contribution/sense before. She speak like an ordinary serial caller. She is like a passenger in a bus even though she is suppose to be a driver's mate. Square peg in round hole.

That was what our first president was driving us into. Those who opposed it were branded as traitors and unpatriotic, yet they died for their cause.

For the past two weeks my prepaid meter battery has gone flat and so even when I load credit, the power cannot be reconnected. After all attempts to get this sorted, nobody seems to care. To show Im prepared to pay for the power, I keep on loading credits; but have to connect direct to avert a dark Christmas and New Year. Im waiting for someone to tell me I have done illegal connection. Workers must be committed to help clients. ECG needs CASH to run and all efforts to get it must be drilled into the heads of the worker.WE ARE PREPARED TO PAY FOR THE POWER. Period!!!!!!!!!
