We’re ready to collaborate to resolve ECG’s challenges – PUWU tells Mahama

The Public Utilities Workers Union (PUWU) has assured President Mahama to collaborate with him to resolve challenges facing the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the power sector.

In a statement signed by the General Secretary of PUWU, Timothy Nyame, the Union appealed to the President not to privatize the ECG.

” We can vividly recall the engagement we had with the previous NDC administration regarding the issues of the power distributor ECG, PUWU’ of TUC Ghana wishes to reaffirm that its position on ECG privatization and management remain unchanged and believe the best alternative presented still stands as the best for Ghanaians and other stakeholders.

“As a Union with membership mainly in the utilities and housing sectors of the country, we are ready to collaborate with the government in finding permanent solutions to the energy, housing and water situation and at affordable cost to Ghanaians,” Mr Nyame said in the January 13 press release.

He further stated that, PUWU is very much aware of the investment done in the energy sector by both local and international partners.

He appealed to President John Mahama to sustain discussions with these partners to resolve the energy challenges.

“PUWU of TUC Ghana is not unaware of many interest groups, locally and abroad, when it comes to investment in the power and energy sector, we are also aware of many who paraded the corridors with interest in ECG in the past and have metamorphosed and resurfaced to continue their game.”
