TUC’s resistance to ECG privatisation reflects lessons from past – NPP MP

His comments come after the TUC rejected the World Bank’s push for private sector participation (PSP) in the operations of ECG and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo).

The Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North and a member of Parliament’s Energy Committee, Collins Adomako-Mensah, says the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has legitimate reasons to be cautious about proposed private sector participation in the operations of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

The debate is therefore expected to centre on whether the proposed arrangement constitutes genuine private sector participation aimed at improving ECG’s performance or amounts to a form of privatisation that could have long-term implications for Ghana’s electricity distribution system.
