  Since ECG is the only body responsible for billing and collecting revenue from electric power users, what stops them from approaching any user with a bill? All these inefficiencies are there and they only think about increasing tariffs. What a Useless company?

  These meters I suspect were installed when the doctor was campaigning in 2008 become the parliamentarian for the area. I have my home in Esereso and have lived there for 20 years now and am billed every month. If some residents are enjoying free power the doctor should be held responsible.

  And what is the scale of this problem in the country ie all across the 10 regions of Ghana, under this rural electrification programme, where some communities from this report, are enjoying free electricity in the country.
  Ghanaians need to know. The ECG needs to tell Ghanaians the scale of this "communities who enjoy free electricity". The PURC needs to tell Ghanaians where these communities enjoying free electricity are located. Edward Omane Boamah should together with the Min of Power Kwabena Donkor, tell Ghanaians where these communities enjoying free electricity in this country in all the 10 regions are located.

  Its not only Kumasi; Right in Accra we have not had our bills since 03/2014 when our meters (5 of them) were installed. We have been chasing them (Kwabenya office) but they have never come.

  Please, sack these managers of ECG for failing to address a problem they have known for over 2 years. All they can do is pass these bills to innocent citizens to pay. As for passing these bills to unsuspecting Ghanaian, one does not need to finish SHS to know this. They are incompetent oooo sack these foolish managers for causing finanacial loss to Ghana. They will run their own business like this.

  This is the height of inefficiency at ECG and the earlier ECG is re-structured the better for the end of Dumso.
  The Management is simply not bothered about production losses.

  Not surprised about free electricity most communities are enjoying. Come to Accra and communities like Airport Hills etc. are enjoying free rides. God help Ghana and ECG to be up and running right.
