Oyiwa, so Forbes too confirms we shall go to war as we are 100% sure NDC will rig the elections with election engineering , propaganda , corruption , bloated register , hegemony mixed with northern tribalism. Now that the dumsor barge fiasco has backfired and exploded in your face you present another half baked solution? Dumsor barge was meant to enable Ibrahim Mahama to own the majority of the independent power producing capabilities , increase unnecessarily the rates on electricity so our home start getting bills 3 to 5 times what they are now. We may be already refugees and second class citizens in our own country but that does not make deaf and blind to the truth. We know the root cause of dumsor is your Anti Akan hate agenda and because Akosombo is on Akan territory you have allowed mismanagement and neglect to practically put out of function one turbine after another. You spread propaganda and lies about some water level mixed with bullshit about the whole thing being old or obsolete forgetting that most hydro generators in the world are older than ours but still functioning. No talk of the possibility that its still possible to send these defunct turbines to Europe , North America , Japan or even Russia (NEVER TURKEY)and have them re-calibrated . Due to lack of timely maintenance from neglect and corruption blessed by the hate of the Akans politics mixed with Muslim caliphate destruction ,the turbines have all slowly spun out of axis and need to be dismantled to calibrate them , with the availability of new technology its even possible to increase the original 1000 megawatts to 1500 or even double if reverse turbines and other changes are made. Yes the undeclared WAR against the Akans continue, they already declare territories of the Akans such as Akosombo , Osu all the way to Kasoa and other areas as belonging to the Ewes , Gas or whoever, very soon we shall hear how the cities Kumasi , Koforidua , Takoradi and Cape Coast belong to the Zongo pepeni.Their vicious propaganda onslaught , brainwashing and subliminal message has left some Akans especially Fantis with no recollection of their proud history or even able to speak Fanti but now parade around as if they are Gas or ayigbe. Just like Al Capone was able to turn Chicago into a fortress for the mafia ,so have these sakawa mafia criminal NDC pepeni/ayigbe unholy alliance turned our country into a place whereby only corrupt criminals can prosper and decent silent majority marginalized. Their propaganda and grassroots network together with the security agencies are advertising an atmosphere of hopeless with the message that ALL are corrupt just like them. No worthy project can see the light of day due to their greedy corrupt demands and larceny. No progress can be achieved due to this rotten system placed there by the perverse , intellectually handicapped morons of the security agencies and NDC. Ironically enough this sakawa ndc govt has turned into their victims due to the massive Stockholm syndrome their own supporters , sympathizers and foot soldiers. In any sakawa situation we notice the victims when you try and enlighten them they resort to passionately hating you because they think in their delusion you are envious of their great opportunity . The end result is them loosing their life energy, misery and abysmal despair but God also punishes eventually the perpetrators and they too face death under very horrible circumstances. NDC is now desparate for a success story they can use to decieve Ghanaians of their benevolent intent but just like Al Capone they resort to creating an atmosphere/climate of destroying anyone who dares to raise their voice and speak the truth. We must continue our quiet whisper campaign to remove them from as just as outsiders and quiet majority of Chicago succeeded so will we. Fifi Kwetey says that the Volta region is the source and world bank of the NDC , and the lands /people of the Akans the bread basket to be exploited by them. My brothers keep your cutlasses sharpened and ready as just as when the European nations tried to enslave Germany into their breadbasket so must we soon teach them a lesson so that never again will they even dream of such a crime just like in Europe today. Freedom is not gained with a peaceful transition but with blood , we didn't start it but know how to end it . Very soon hopefully we shall meet in the front-lines of the battlefield

IT WAS PURELY ON THE ECONOMY AND THE MAN POINTED OUT TO HIM THE FEELING OF HOPELESSNESS AND DESPONDENCY ON THE PART OF GHANAINS UNDER HIS INEPT & CORRUPT NDC GOVERNMENT.

All discernible Ghanaians know that NDC doesn't have what it takes to solve the challenges facing Ghana. P/NDC usurped power from Liman and wasted 20 years of our national life without any tangible results before NPP came and improved the situation dramatically.

Unfortunately, the NDC party was given another chance in 2009 with new oil revenue to try again, but the result so far has been HIPIC, Domsor, low production, unprecedented corruption, currency depreciation, over-taxation, unprecedented hardship and hunger with another "Rawlings' chain".

NDC/Mahama should therefore be shown the door come 2016 with a promise not to ever come back again.

President Mahama himself is a Master criminal, look at his mouth he's a weed smoker. He's more corrupt than his Ministers. He is using d state Asset for his own personal business. He bought a private Jet and name it after his brother Ibrahim Mahama. He stoled Ghana's Gold reserve into his private jet flew it to Turkey and sold them, and all was overcovered. He over price d kumasi Airport renovation with a hooping sum of 25$ Millions which could have built a new one. He stoled d state Excavators and name them EPL which belong to his brother Ibrahim. He intentionally created Suba, Geda, Sada, and went to IMF for a Loan to create loot & share to equip his personal business. He used the state money to purchase or bought a billion dollar House & Hotel in Dubia. The state of the Economi is at stake, the hardships, average normal ghanaian live under 1cedis a day. Healthcare (Nhis) has also collapsed, Doctors have force to use Tourchlights for opperating Patients bcos of Dumdumsor which is also killing private business, which have force managers to lay-off 1000s of workers. Whiles the President contineu to FOOL ghanaians he love he love gh. etc...pt1

This makes no sense, how can you justify price hikes for something that is not available regularly enough for people to use? It is like making people pay for bread, without having any to show for it.

Ghanaians need not worry at all. Now that the market for power provision has been opened, the competition will bring prices down.

Now all Ghanaians need to do is to make sure the government does not block anybody entering the power provision market.

These increases are too high but the unintended consequence is that, it will make the market lucrative and business will surely respond by providing their own services in order to reap the attractive profits.

In the end, they will be so many players and this will lead to price competition.

Ghanaians must be vigilant though. Karpower and the likes will try to block others from entering the market by bribing government and ministers. This is where Ghanaians must resist any attempts by government to stifle the competition. Alert your MPs to this.

If only the NDC could have cut down on the thievery by the president and his cohorts, government could still have subsidized utility in Ghana without widening the budget deficit. The $1.5 million John Mahama paid his brother to lift $3 million to Brazil could have paid the utility bills of all the residents in my hometown, Tikobo No. 2 for 5 years.

If you want to know what Mahama is using Ghana money for you read this:
"Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London-bloomberg

There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies."

This is evil, witchcraft, and unthinkable. What kind of incompetent government is this. Ghanaians are dying. Our leaders must be a bit considerate. God help Ama Ghana.

These hikes highlight the extents to which the Regulatory Commission deprives the people of their honest Services.What actually has the Commission Controlled from its inception.I had said on this forum some time past that,the Ghanaian comes out of School,becomes an official,to add more problems to existing ones instead to resolve or Solve them. Did l hear "Economic dev of the Country and Social impact were
Considered!".What observers are Surprise at,was not the increase itself, but how officials lied through their teeth to the people.Is Jantuah saying if not that, the percentage of increase could have been higher?.Again,should people be Subjected to extreme hardships in the name of "Economic Development" What do Jantuah and her group means by that!.This question goes to the govt: What is the benefits of Oil Money to the people?.
A Country which does not give Relief in the form of Subsidy of some sort, either than austerity measures,is bound to fail.B'cos those measures do not put food on the table or reflect in the pockets of the people. Therefore,African leadership should endeavor to have Compassion on their own people they ruled,and not to allow themselves to be deceived.

I think the monopoly of the GWCL & ECG is what is causing the authorities to find loopholes to play with the lives of Ghanaians.
Renewable energy tho high cost can still help us, lets think of solving the problems my making moves to help ourselves. Some smart Ghanaians have boreholes to provide them water....lets think to help ourselves.
As far as i remember, the complains always come but nothing is being done to satisfy Ghanaians.

The rate or Tarrif has increased from GHC0.42/Kwh to GHC1.09/Kwh an increase of 2.5 times or 250% increase.
What bs is this?
