Kumasi: ECG suspends power to the Kejetia market due to a GHC 5.4 million debt.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is yet to reestablish capacity to the Kumasi Kejetia Market in the Ashanti district which was separated north of 13 months neglected obligation adding up to GHC5.4 million.
The Kejetia Market power was separated by the power circulation organization on Wednesday, June 22, 2022.
Because of the power cut, the market opens late for merchants and vehicles as they become abandoned at the different doors to the market because of perceivability challenge.
Last Wednesday's activity by the power wholesaler is the second time the Company has sliced capacity to the market for absence of obligation to settle the obligation.
The merchants in the market have declined to take care of bills for around 13 months.
Leader of the Federation of Kejetia Traders, Nana Kwesi Prempeh, lamented the administrations gave to the merchants by the Kumasi City Market against its expense each month.
He said the choice not to cover the bills is to push for specialists of the market to support their interest for each shop to be given a meter.
He made sense of the whole market has just a single power meter which he portrayed as lamentable.
"Just after this media preparation we will ensure every one of our individuals lock their shops and return home. We can't exchange this intensity and dimness. These NPP government representatives in Ashanti district are frustrating. How might a market with huge number of shops run on one power meter? We continue to call for independent meters for each shop and no one is prepared to pay attention to us, not even KMA city chairman Sam Pyne,'' he uncovered.
In the interim, the Ashanti local police commandant and the Mayor of Kumasi have met the pioneers to suspend their arranged dissent on Monday.
The Ashanti Regional Manager of the ECG, David Asamoah told GHone News until the administration of the market pays half of the pre-owned 13 months power obligation, he won't reestablish capacity to the market.
