“We presented an installment plan of 20% of the worth in two months or less. So we gave a post-dated check with that impact. In any case, the ECG expressed, taking a gander at the sum in question, the arrangement isn’t sufficient. So that’s what the arrangement is, by the fifteenth of July, we ought to take care of one month’s extraordinary bill and afterward by the 31st of July, we pay one more month’s overdue debts.”
Last week, there was a power outage at the market after authorities from the ECG disengaged capacity to the office.
This present circumstance, was on the grounds that the merchants wouldn’t take care of their power bills for near fourteen months after the administration of the office neglected to furnish each shop with a meter.
Authority of the merchants unveiled that following a few commitment with the administration of the office and the Electricity Company of Ghana, the brokers have genuinely promised to take care of the extraordinary bills.
In 2021, the disappointment of the administration of the office to guarantee the arrangement of meters for each shop constrained the authority of the merchants to educate their individuals not to take care of any bills to the administration.
This choice prompted the separation of power supply to the shops.
The dealers demanded that until each shop is given an individual meter, they won’t cover any bill to the administration.
Around 7,200 shops at the office were impacted by the disengagement work out.
For a really long time, the merchants, and the administration of the office have had conflicts over the installment of power bills.
