The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has reiterated its opposition to the privatisation of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) while highlighting the challenges associated with it.
Despite drawing the attention of the government on the challenges the country may face in the prospect privatisation of the ECG, following the reading of the 2025 budget by the Finance Minister, the TUC said the government appeared to be "hell-bent" of completing the move.
Rather than privatisation of the ECG, the TUC calls for a strategic reforms including the non-politicisation of the ECG to help address its challenges.
The opposition to the privatisation of the ECG was contained in a statement on the 2025 budget and the economic policy of the government issued by the TUC and copied The Ghanaian Times yesterday. "In 2017, in our submission to the then Akufo-Addo government in response to its first budget, we stated our opposition to the intended privatisation of the ECG.
