An affected customer said ECG staff refused to to attend to him. I am here to seek

clarity on some challenges I am having with my meter but when I arrived here I was told they are embarking on a demonstration. This will not help the customers. The workers in the past few weeks have been demanding the removal of the the current Managing Director of the company over what they describe as incompetence on his part also. They also alleged that several petitions to

Mr. Agyeman Budu to involve its rank and file in revenue mobilization since the 2020 have also been ignored and the workers claimed the MD’s continuous stay at post will also collapse the electricity distribution company because to them, he is grossly deficient when it comes to matters relating to the administrative and corporate governance.
