THE Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has restored power to the Kejetia Market in Kumasi of the Ashanti Region, after disconnecting the same for four days due to a debt of over GH¢2 million. Power was restored on Friday after the management of the market and the ECG entered into an agreement which would require the management of the market to make a daily GH¢100, 000 payment to the ECG. The Ashanti West Public Relations Officer for ECG, Mr Benjamin Obeng Antwi,who confirmed the payment plan to the Ghanaian Times said the market would be plunged into darkness again if the management failed to honour the agreement. He explained that as of August 12, the market owed GH¢2,112,909.46 which included a legacy debt of GH¢ 692,000.00, and outstanding bills of GH¢ 549,122.62 for May and GH¢ 873,488.06 for June.
