Ghanaian MP Slams Government's ECG Reforms: "They're Ignoring the Real Problems!"

Ghana's Parliament Debates ECG Reforms Amidst Public Outcry Ghana's parliament recently witnessed a heated debate on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) reforms. A member of parliament (MP) strongly criticized the government's handling of the situation, highlighting the imposition of new levies without addressing fundamental issues within the ECG. "You told Ghanaians that there's nothing like Dumsor in Ghana, so why Dumsor Levy Osahene Afenyo Markin ask them again?" the MP exclaimed, expressing frustration at the government's claims. The MP pointed to significant transmission losses, estimating them at "22 percent during your time," and the non-payment of electricity bills by many households and factories as evidence of systemic problems. The MP's speech underscores the public's concern about the rising cost of electricity and the lack of transparency in ECG's operations. The government's response to these criticisms remains to be seen, but the debate highlights the urgent need for comprehensive reforms to ensure a stable and affordable energy sector in Ghana.
