SOURCE: DAILY GUIDE-----
Workers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the Western Region who took part in yesterday’s May Day celebration at the Takoradi Jubilee Park, used the occasion to explain to Ghanaians that the ECG could not be blamed for the country’s current energy crisis known as dumsor.

The workers indicated that if there was anyone to blame for the current erratic power supply, which is making life unbearable for Ghanaians, then that person should be President John Dramani Mahama.

Even though the workers did not explain further, they alleged on their placards that the government alone owed ECG a whopping 1.6 billion cedis and stressed that the company shared in the pain of Ghanaians who are suffering because of the dumsor.

The theme of the celebration was “Addressing the Energy Crisis, the Role of Organized Labour.”

Most of the workers held placards with the inscriptions: “Dumsor is politically motivated,” “Dumsor, A Nation In Deep Darkness,” “Dumsor, Hold Mahama Responsible, Not ECG,” “Dumsor Is Not In ECG’s Dictionary” and “Punish the Corrupt Elements in Government,” among others.

This is where paliament has to step in and do due deligence as to who signed what and what percentages are they getting since we know the whole process was not open to the lawful bidding procedures put in place by parliament.
Please parliament can the oversight commitee stand up and do their lawful work to save our dear country from yet another possible financial loss? A stitch in time saves nine!!!!!!!
We stand by for your move parliament!!!

When this dark bearded young Akan youths supremacist leader is going to marry? If it is very difficult for this silly Vagabond to merry at his age with the "Sakawa" money he make, why can't he think it is difficult for the President too to solve the "Domsor" crisis? Solving a country's problem , isn't easy like making "Sakawa" music.

People of Ghana, the other time it was a call to pass a law that will allow THEM to STONE OUR WOMEN when they make mistakes. Today, NDC IS LABELING OUR WOMEN CELEBRITIES WHO ARE NOT YET MARRIED AS PROSTITUTES. NDC is disrespecting our women and Ghanaians in general, and it is getting worse by each passing day. Remember Ayariga's insult of our JOURNALISTS. VOTE MAHAMA AND HIS USELESS AND DISRESPECTFUL NDC OUT IN 2016.

It is high time we look at dredging the lake to hold lots of water for power generation at Akosombo. Secondly we should be looking at buying newer turbines, alternators and switches and breakers for distribution of electricity.. Ghana is well known for running machinery till they break down before doing something. Preventive maintenance should take precedence.

So does Karpower always have the flags of countries they're serving hanging at their facility, or Mahama sent one of the NDC sycophants to place our flag there to prove they are doing something? This is crazy!!!

I believe I read somewhere that after the duration of the supply contact there will be an option to purchase. But there are far cheaper options so why is government opting for this.

the flag is a propaganda and there are a few things wrong if you look at the picture closely.1) the flag is brand new so they might have just hanged it to take the photo to lie to Ghanaians, 2) who hangs a country's flag that low, 3) its disgraceful and disrespectful to let our flag hang that low and scraping the ground, 4) that is not how the flag is supposed to be hanged (upside down) whoever took that photo should be ashamed for not having pride in the one thing that represents us overseas and just going with the political morons to spread idiotic propaganda. I will be damned if that is actually power barge they are building for Ghana.

In as much as we as a nation are desperate to get power for our homes and jobs, the question is can Ghana afford the cost? What beats my understanding is that, these ships will be available to us on rent basis and the cost of renting it is outrageous.
NDC should not overburden us with unnecessary costs. Ghanaians should understand that after these ships are delivered to Ghana, the cost of doing business in Ghana will go up since the tariff will double. Again can we afford? Can the ordinary Ghanaian afford? Time will tell.

If u pay your electricity bills yes and not illegal connect!!!!! Which has been the bane of ECG. We complain about not having electricity etc but we Ghanaians are to be be blamed also!!! We need to change our ways of doing things and stop our self centred and corrupt attitude which has engulfed about 99% of Ghanaians!!!! We sit here and blame mahama because he drunk the water at akosombo Abi??? He came in and constructed the bui dam but it has gone unnoticed, he came in and finished building the atuabo gas plant but that has gone unnoticed abi??? People sit there and call him useless etc but in all the 8 yrs that npp was in power what meaningful project did they put up? But yet u think this useless party is better!! It is so unfortunate that during the Ndc era they have had to face all these problems of economic expansion, poor managers of ecg, fuel shortage problems etc. but I tell prez Mahama u will overcome and put all these nation wreckers of a party called npp to shame.
