The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has dismissed claims that the government is planning to sell the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). <\/p>\n Speaking on Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen programme on Thursday, 20th February, he clarified that the government is only seeking a partnership to improve revenue collection within the company.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have not said we are selling ECG. Let no one misquote me. We are only seeking partnership in the distribution end vis-\u00e0-vis billing, collection activities of their work,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n According to him, the move is aimed at addressing inefficiencies in ECG\u2019s operations, particularly in revenue mobilisation.<\/p>\n Jinapor highlighted the challenges associated with ECG\u2019s current billing and collection system, citing a personal example to illustrate the problem. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m telling you the truth that in my house, for three months they have not even collected the bills, and that is one of the issues we are trying to resolve,\u201d he revealed. <\/p>\n This, he said, demonstrates the urgent need for reforms to ensure that ECG becomes more efficient and financially sustainable.<\/p>\n The Minister assured Ghanaians that the government remains committed to strengthening ECG rather than privatising it. <\/p>\n He urged the public to disregard misinformation and support efforts to enhance the company\u2019s performance, particularly in revenue collection, to improve service delivery across the country.<\/p>\n GA\/KA<\/p>\n You can also watch Godfred Dame’s full speech on legal case withdrawals below:<\/b><\/p>\n![\"Minister](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/646\/64601176.295.jpg\" "\\"Minister")
