The Ghana Food and Beverages Association (FABAG) has urged President John Dramani Mahama to implement urgent reforms at the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).Ghana travel guide According to the association, the persistent increase in utility tariffs, despite ECG’s recurring financial losses, must be addressed as a matter of priority. Speaking to the media on Monday, October 6, the Chairman of the association, John Awuni, stressed that the high cost of electricity is taking a heavy toll on businesses and Ghanaians at large. “There shouldn’t be any tariff increment. Because there’s no amount of tariff increment that can solve the problems of ECG. There must be a reform, and that reform is aimed at reducing the technical and commercial losses to reasonable standards,” he said. The association also gave the government a 30-day ultimatum to set up a performance compact that will measure and improve the performance of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL).Ghana travel guide “There’s no effort VRA or GRIDCo will make that can be realised. The inefficiencies in ECG will eat up all those ones, so there’s a need for reforms. Respectfully, we recommend a presidential compact for ECG and GWL. “We call for a performance compact between the ECG, Ministry of Finance, PURC and the Energy Commission sites under H.E. ECG and GWL reform is more than a utility issue; it is a matter of national security, economic survival and governance legacy,” he stated.
