Every Ghanaian know that no structure is built on wrong and unstable foundation. If the foundation is not good, you have break it away and start with good foundation and this the people who have been sacked know it. Mr. Minority Leader things that your guys were doing during their exit from government were not right and was not a good foundation for job creation. Stay quite and learn the proper way of recruiting as a government.

KWEKU KOTOKU, THINK DISCONNECTION OF GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS WILL AFFECT YOU AND A LOT OF PEOPLE MORE THAN THOSE OUTSIDE OF GOVERNMENT. BESIDES NOT GOVERNMENTS DELAY IN ELECTRICITY PAYMENT, BUT GOVERNMENTS BILLS ARE GUARANTEED, EVEN WITH A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENT FACILITIES DON'T INDULGE IN ILLEGAL CONNECTION. MOST OF YOU CRITICS ARE JUST MERE THIEVES WHO ARE ONLY ACCUSSING OTHERS THEY HAVE NOT EVEN SEEN OR KNOWN BEFORE JUST TO SOOTH THEIR CONSCIENCES

ECG is simply inefficient, how can a company be profitable if they have to wait months after providing service to collect money due them. The new government and the sector Minister Hon. Agyarko should stop this mess.

THE CASHFLOW PROBLEMS OF ECG, AND TO A LARGE EXTENT OUR NATION GHANA, IS DUE MAINLY TO CRASS INCOMPETENCE CORRUPTION LAZINESS AND LACK OF JOB KNOWLEDGE OF GHANA'S ENTIRE LEADERSHIP, MOST OF WHO PLAGIARISE AND COPY AT EXAMS TO OBTAIN THEIR PAPER QUALIFICATIONS.

TOO MUCH BOOK KNOWLEDGE AND CORRUPTION IS KILLING GHANA SLOWLY SLOWLY.

VERY SOON EVEN THE AIR WE BREATH WILL BE SUBJECT TO TAX TO RAISE MONEY TO FEED GHANA'S LAZY LEADERSHIP AND CORRUPTION.

OTHERWISE, WHY WOULD A POOR THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY LIKE GHANA HAVE MORE THAN 600 VEHICLES IN A PRESIDENTIAL FLEET, MOST OF WHICH VANISHES OR ARE SOLD CHEAPLY AT THE END OF EVERY PRESIDENTIAL TERM IN OFFICE?.

OTHERWISE, WHY SHOULD A POOR THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY LIKE GHANA HAVE UTILITY TARIFFS AND FUEL PRICES HIGHER THAN THOSE IN THE USA AND OTHER WESTERN NATIONS?

So what are the use of the prepaid meters? I think that should be the solution. If you don't buy energy you don't use energy. Period

It quite absurd the way electricity bills in residential facilities in Kumasi n it's environs has bn skyrocketing lately n over sometime nw. I hv monitored wid keen interest the exorbitant bills issued by ECG officials to the poor people most especially in the garden city of Kumasi. It is high time the Nana Addo administration constitute a full scale investigation into this act of gross extortion from the poor people who form a greater percentage of his support or stand the potential wrath of his stronghold. This skyrocketing bills was attributed to the antique of the previous regime wch cost them the massive loss in Ashanti n Kumasi in particular. Mr.President the ECG is behaving like the mediocre workerhollic institution whose main interest is to amass wealth at the expense of the suffering masses in Kumasi n Ashanti region.

Some of the ECG workers and officials are party to the ILLEGAL connections and the refusal of customers to pay their bills.Some bribe their way through.Metres are also sold above the official price.
