ECG procurement is where politicians ‘milk’ the company – Ben Boakye

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, September 12, during a discussion on the proposed private sector participation in ECG, Mr Boakye described the state-owned power distributor as part of what he called the “spoils of election”.

Mr Boakye maintained that any meaningful reform of ECG must therefore go beyond questions of ownership and address procurement, expenditure and the broader network of interests surrounding the utility.” He said such practices contribute to higher costs and inefficiencies within ECG, arguing that the company’s expenditure problems must receive as much attention as its technical and commercial losses.
