\n

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is considering disconnecting power supply to the Parliament of Ghana on Wednesday, February 21, due to an outstanding debt exceeding GH\u20b523 million.<\/p>\n

This potential action is part of the ongoing \u201cOperation Zero Balance\u201d initiative which aims to recover unpaid debts from various customers.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of Parliament among the disconnection targets raises eyebrows due to its critical role in national governance.<\/p>\n

Sources indicate that the accumulated debt poses a significant hurdle for ECG\u2019s operations and hampers its ability to meet the demands of power producers.<\/p>\n

This potential move follows a similar disconnection at Accra Academy Senior High School on February 19th, where power was cut due to an outstanding debt of GH\u00a2400,000.<\/p>\n
