  I do not think much of this minister given his performance so far, but, I have to agree with him on this point. The private sector want to eat their cake & still have it. Mr Donkor, you're right, business is risk-taking.

  This is a good step ahead, most of these people are just speculators who need the GCSA to obtain loans for the project or find a loophole in the agreements to file for judgement debts. Thumbs up honourable!!

  This Minister needs to be Educated on reforms needed to solve the electricity problem, he should seek help from the German Government

  most of ECG's debt are from the government MDAs. ECG is sole distributer of electricity in Ghana and it is 100% govt owned. I don't see how govt can run away fro ECG problems when they are the chief causer of ECG's problems.

  Mr. Minister you are aware the ministries and other government department are owing ECG. Being a minister does not mean you should shy away from the truth. Guarantees are important and very CRUTIAL in this case because of ECG's Balance Sheet and Liquidity Challenges. PLEASE FOCUS ON THE WASTE IN GOVERNMENT AND ASSURE INVESTORS with not just TALK but real SUBSTANCE such as Guarantees that ECG will pay it's obligations when it falls due. 100% ownership of ECG is not a Joke.

  Fantastic! Bravo, Dr Donkor. We must end the socialisation of private risk in all sectors of the Ghana economy.

  The Ghana government would be wise to ask the Bahamian government for copies of all the proposals it received from IPPs - some of which were willing to even fund the modernisation of the Bahamian Electricity Corporation's infrastructure. Imagine that. Bravo, Dr. Kwabena Donkor!
