Be bold and tell them to stop the illegal connection and also pay the right or correct tarrifs for the electricity supply. Ghanaians like free things too much. Even the air we breath takes money to be purified by cleaning the environment. Are sanitation workers not paid ? U.S.A Government shut down is temporal but Ghana's shut down will be permanent if care is not taken.

Collect the money you need from the government and not the ordinary citizen. They have stolen about 100 times the money you need.

This is man should be bold and tell Ghanaians that they are incompetent in running the affairs of VRA. No amount of tariff increases will stop "dum sor" in Ghana because the increases will rather fattens the salaries of these officials instead.

I do not understand why our educated elites are so "cold hearted" in treating Ghanaians like we are sub-humans? How do they perceived us? They think we are nonentities which should be forced to do the unthinkable.

On the other hand, it serves Ghanaians well for voting NDC into power because some of us warned them that NDC is coming to make things unbearable for them but....

Have you audited your operations, to plug the 56% wastages?
If you like 'shed' it, 'dum' it, 'so' it, or even shut down the turbines. We'll be in it together!

Listen to what this fletcher guy is saying..?! What an idiot! Well, let somebody tell him that, they as an entity owe it a duty to educate the larger Ghanaian public on energy conservation. Who does he expect to do that job after they have run down the establishment to live in comfort...

how can you make money if you sell nothing? Even an un-educated trader will tell you if she has no product she makes no money! But you threaten more power outages! Let Con-ed Or Southern Company( Georgia Power & Alabama Power) arrive and force you out of business with Lites on 24/7/365 days per year. Even my electric co-op only charged me $45(90 cedi) for 283 kwh....Sell the company..Just as the deregulation of phone business has lower prices, So it will happen in electric business

Hazor, the electricity tariff in ghana or what we call end user tariff has three components; bulk generation tariff that goes to generation companies like vra, transmissions service charge that goes to Gridco and distribution service charge that goes to ecg. If vra had 36% then the rest was shared between Gridco and ecg.

ECG and VRA used PURC to deceive Ghanaians that they had increased tariff by 78.9% but the truth of the matter is that is that the increment is between 85% and 120%! PURC must investigate this claim!

The truths and facts of all said in the past are still not been understood by some citizens of Ghana. Please, listen the main issues is not politics but rather being able to say the truth. The truth is, leaders must lead by examples, which is to stop the purchasing of these expensive and high cost maintenance cars, such as SUVS and 4x4S. The very excuses are that the roads in the country are in dangerous state and that heaver and bigger cars will protect the leaders. So, the question is: what about the safety and protection of the citizens and tax pays in Ghana? yes, every government official in Ghana enjoys the above mentioned cars, why? and why? the mind set needs to change and to change from to day. To politicizing all action to words development and future progress of Ghana will not work, people!!!!!!
To believe in fair play, the days of all state official SUVS and 4X4S cars must be auctioned and result to nice saloon cars. There are uncontrolled waste in the system and enjoyment of a politician must be the last consideration in every developing country, a word to a wisely people is ---------- and no more games, better health plan, better roads linking villages, better schools and no more under tree studies and finally to love your country Ghana.
