The Kejetia market in Kumasi is under pressure to clear a significant electricity debt owed to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) by September 16, 2024, following the introduction of a strict repayment plan. The market, which faced a three-day power outage due to failure to adhere to previous payment schedules, has now reached an agreement with ECG to settle the over GH¢7 million debt, myjoyonline.com reports. The Public Relations Officer for ECG-Ashanti West, Benjamin Obeng Antwi, detailed the payment plan adding that Kejetia market must make several payments before the deadline.
"By August 30, if they pay GH¢200,000, we will expect them to pay another GH¢273,000 by September 6. On 10th September, we will expect another payment for the legacy debt. They are supposed to finish paying by 16th September, with the exception of the July bill," Antwi explained.
