  So, because of your personal interest, and because you must be paid, Ghanaians who are already suffering from the government's refusal to spend should suffer even more?
  
  Pay Dumsor Levy with what extra money? From where?

  You let your friends carry on with their witch-hunting and with taxing our bones. We can all sit and watch Ghana burn.

  Why can't these "Stomach-directed idiots" ask the rationale behind the "Take or Pay" power agreement Mahama signed before leaving office? That stupid agreement saddled Ghana with a yearly debt of $500million and NPP government started making that from 2017 so, if there is a debt at the energy sector, why can't Mahama be held responsible?
  
  What impact does $500million yearly debt has on our treasury, nothing? Mahama has the nerve to tell Ghanaians that NPP had left some debts at the energy sector without anybody questioning him.
  
  Ato Forson on the other hand told parliament that there are ways to generate revenue without increase in taxation so, what happened?

  Was entirely available? But why not find those who are responsible and charge them? Stupid country! You cancelled E-levi and introduced G-levi, which is higher than the former.

  The financial problems of this sector is entirely avoidable. ECG is inept and should be disbanded and replaced with a competent operator. They are failing to properly bill consumers because electricity meters are not read and continually send estimated bills, albeit, they employ meter readers who basically don’t do anything but get paid. I have been trying to get them to read my meter for 2 years without success. It’s a complete joke. Why is the tax payer paying their wages when they should be self funding. It’s about time the government takes action to end this farce.

  There must be policy directive for the IPGs to invest into renewable power sources, particularly wind, solar and mini hydro. There must also be production of green hydrogen for peak power producer plants. The gas- powered plants should be converted into hydrogen powered ones. Imagine a generation mix where all sources emit the least amount carbon dioxide and the fuels are either free or at least cost. With social responsibility from the IPGs, costs will drastically reduce with free fuels and IPGs can now charge lower price. Eventually the D-level will clear out the energy sector debt and be scrapped. Ghanaians will be grateful.
