The House of Parliament in Ghana has set the record straight regarding their outstanding electricity bill, which stands at GH¢12 million and not the previously reported GH¢23 million.
This clarification comes after the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) cut power supply to Parliament and its office complex for MPs as part of its ‘Operation Zero Balance’ campaign.
Deputy Clerk of Corporate and Financial Management Services Division in Parliament, Mr Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, explained that Parliament had made a payment of GH¢13 million on Tuesday, 27 February 2024, leaving a balance of GH¢12 million to be cleared. He noted that some of the payments made by Parliament were not properly captured by ECG’s records.
In an interview, Mr Djietror emphasized, “As far as we are concerned, we’ve made payment. All the payment we have made, some have not reflected in their system.” He also mentioned that Parliament had provided a breakdown of their payments to the Deputy Managing Director of ECG and were in the process of reconciling the account.
To ensure accuracy in the reconciliation process, Mr Djietror stated, “We are going to get the bank to extract all the payments we’ve made in terms of the dates. I’m not sure how it’s captured, so, there’s a gap in terms of the reconciliation as to what is the outstanding bill.”
Through these efforts, Parliament aims to clear up any discrepancies and settle their electricity bill with ECG.
