Mr Quartey-Papafio commended President John Mahama for banning the importation of electrical cables and transformers due to quality concerns.

“The local cable manufacturers need reliable and affordable electricity supply to enable them to produce at optimal levels as well as be able to compete effectively with our foreign counterparts”, he added.
