On whose side is this woman and the institution she works for belong? If she says Ghanaians pay the least tariff in the sub-region she will do well to increase it to the sub-region's level she so much desire and let us have our peace. We will be spared her repeated shrill and annoying explanations on radio, at least.

Why compare Ghana to America? The fact that Ghanaians have relatives living in America is no grounds to compare their economies, power, etc.
This is akin to comparing an elephant and an ant.Both have a-n-t in their names but they are different in every aspect.
Please, there are countries in the West-African sub-region for comparison's sake.

This woman should stop annoying Ghanaians with her negative defence of electricity changes. If she feels the same way majority of Ghanaians are,she won't be making such ugly comments.

Isn't it logical to expect government officials who benefit from fuel coupons, and other forms of free fuel allowances, perks, etc. to forgo those privileges and simply pay? How much ?ould the nation receive per day in revenues from such expenses? The poor are paying these tariffs, and now government comes to tell them. you have the lowest power tariffs in sub-Saharan African region!

Why do you compare other countries in the sub-region since their source of generating power is also different from ours. We have the cheapest source through Akosombo. When you remove the huge taxes you have loaded on the cost of energy in Ghana, all Ghanaians can afford to pay including the Ministries and everyone in Government.

What is this woman, Director of public Relations and External Affairs - Nana Yaa Jantuah talking about? How do you define "cheapest"? Is cheap when you have money in your pocket or your monthly expenses are lower than your income. Ghanaians do not have money in their pockets. "BOYS' ABREE, GIRLS EKASA". Is cheap to Director of public Relations and External Affairs - Nana Yaa Jantuah, because "money for nothing petrol for free to her".

It is just a pity that those who are doing this comperession are people living in the US and are paying thier bills which is increased every year without complain.
PRUC, should not take these fools seriously but try to educate the masses of the need to pay more as the cost of production is high . education of the masses is what is needed in a socity where even pastors can say anything and people fall for.

I know you are surprised to know that Ghana's power tariffs is the cheapest in the sub region. Unfortunately this is true, we have the lowest tariffs and what we pay is very small as compared to other countries. Despite the low cost we pay, ECG is able to expand, meet operational cost and ensure supply of electricity. President Mahama has promised to make Ghana, a net exporter of electricity, the request is on course and the President will ensure that this is done. He will not fix our dumsor instead he will solve it.

It doesn't make sense to charge people whose salaries are the lowest in the sub-region the highest power tariffs. If you pay them less, then you must charge them less for the things they consume.

Commonsense, right?
