The demonstration, held on Wednesday, saw numerous affected customers voicing their frustration with what they describe as billing discrepancies that far exceed their actual electricity consumption. Protesters gathered in the town of Aflao but were prevented by police from reaching the ECG premises in Denu. Unprecedented Bills
Several households and small business owners are reporting outstanding bills ranging from GHC2,000 to GHC10,000, with some commercial entities facing charges as high as GHC19,000 to GHC40,000. These figures, they claim, are grossly disproportionate to their usage.
"I use a fridge, fan, and three bulbs at home. My monthly bills for the whole of last year were not above GHC100, but recently, ECG stopped bringing bills for two months and the next time they came, the figure rose to GHC2,151," one aggrieved customer reported to Starrfm.com.gh.
