But ECG must keep all of them working, true or false? You collect the revenue, and when you fail to account for the revenue collected and collect far less than you should, the entire value chain suffers. That's why there's no fuel and the picture you should paint, honestly.

One statement that got me into trouble with the political class in 2021 was to warn that it was not sustainable for the government to pay electricity bills and pretend all was ok. myjoyonline.com/energy-sector-โ€ฆ

There're some 'Ghana things' I will never understand. You say someone has tarnished your corporate reputation, so you've sued for libel. The matter will be heard in court. What is the point of blasting the writ all over & pushing 1 side in the media? ๐Ÿค”

My Kenyan friends, I'm not the one who awarded your President the Star of the Volta. Neither are you the ones to decide who merits it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

So says its revenue sharing data for October 2023, reported two months after expenditure was projections? If ECG says it procured the FX at ~11.8, not 13.95, to the cedis, then the money we are looking for is more than GHS90m for only October.

Fighting for public interest is getting very difficult, particularly with Fidelity and SML jumping in with deep pockets: Manasseh Azure Awuni and Bright Simons being the latest casualties. It promises to be daunting and independent minds must step in to match the fight.

This was a simple public interest and accountability question of what rate ECG bought dollars to pay IPPs. Instead of answering that question, Fidelity chose the legal route and that has opened a can of worms, including serious conflict of interest issues. Get your popcorn ready

Fidelity opted for the spotlight rather than helping the public find GHS100m lost through exchange rate manipulation at ECG, arguably their biggest client today, in one month. Private business should help the public business as well.
