Power cut to Ghana’s parliament over $1.8m debt

Electricity supply to Ghana’s parliament has been cut off due to a $1.8 million debt owed to the power company. The power cut comes at a time when the country is facing economic challenges and government institutions are struggling to meet their financial obligations.

The power company, in a statement, said that despite several reminders and notices sent to the parliament, the debt remained unpaid. As a result, they were left with no choice but to disconnect the supply until the outstanding amount is settled.

This incident has raised concerns about the financial management of the country’s government institutions and their ability to pay their bills on time. It also highlights the impact of the economic challenges faced by Ghana and the need for better financial planning and management.

Officials from the parliament have assured that they are working to resolve the issue and have requested for an urgent meeting with the power company to find a solution. In the meantime, alternative arrangements are being made to ensure that essential services in the parliament are not disrupted.
