Work On Illegal Connectors And Debtors; They Are The Main Cause Of Your Loss – Geoffery Ocansey To ECG And GWCL

The Greater Accra branch of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce has kicked against proposals from some service providers for tariff increment.

The Electricity Company of Ghana, ECG, and the Ghana Water Company Limited, GWCL, are requesting an upward adjustment of 148 percent and 338 percent respectively.

At an engagement under the auspices of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission, PURC, the Vice Chairman of the Accra branch, Imran Shams Kwakye, pushed for a reduction in the proposed margin due to the impact it would have on businesses.

“Every day, wherever you go, commercial energy is cheaper than domestic, but on our side of the world, it is rather the opposite,” he complained.

Mr. Geoffery Ocansey a Tax Analyst speaking on Plan B FM’S Ebanoosen hosted by Bohyeba Afriyie stated that the ECG should rather work on the numerous illegal connection because that is the main cause of their loss.

he indicated that because of the economic hardship in the country people are compeled to endulge in illegal electricity and water activities whenever they dont have money to prepay.

he also said that they should exert pressure on all who owe them and that will also reduce their loss.

he concluded by making a clarion call on Ghanaians who endulge in illegal electricity and water activities to put a stop to help build a better Ghana together.
