The former NDC MP for Adenta Constituency, Hon. Kojo Adu-Asare has expressed deep frustrations about the internal bickering at ECG in the face of periodic power cuts in selected places in the Greater Accra and Ashanti Regions.

With a stern voice, Hon. Adu-Asare chastised the staff of ECG for not focusing their energies and time on finding lasting solutions to the systemic problems that have bedeviled ECG for ages but rather misapplying their energies to fuel unnecessary rancour among stakeholders.

“We are not in normal times; we are battling with a pandemic and Dumsor in some parts of the country and instead of ECG workers to focus on crafting innovative ideas for the efficient running of the organization, they are rather holding press conferences to talk about staff canteen built by the MD in the Asokwa District. What Ghanaians need from ECG is power in their homes and work places and not internal bickering” Hon. Adu Asare has said.

For the past two weeks, a faction of ECG workers have waged a serious campaign against their MD, Mr. Kwame Agyeman-Budu, asking for his dismissal from office on alleged charges of corporate governance infractions.

This comes at the back of issues of power cuts to some areas in Greater Accra and Ashanti region due to the ongoing works on the transmission lines by GridCo.

Three days ago, ECG released a timetable to guide the disruptions in power supply in parts of the Greater Accra Region. This follows what it says are ongoing system improvement works on the Pokuase Bulk Supply Point. The timetable which kicked in on Monday, May 10, 2021 is expected to end on May 17, 2021.

He has thus, encouraged the ECG workers to rather work assiduously to keep up with the time table in order not to unduly distract business and domestic activities of Ghanaians in the affected areas.
