The Food and Beverages Association of Ghana asserts that Parliament's Public Accounts Committee findings regarding financial mismanagement at the Electricity Company of Ghana vindicate its position that operational reforms should precede rate increases.
FABAG contends that ECG's financial difficulties stem from poor management and revenue loss rather than insufficient tariffs. The association states that "the persistent financial troubles of ECG are not primarily due to inadequate tariffs but rather the result of weak financial management, revenue leakages" and systemic inefficiencies.
The association demands that the Energy Commission and PURC enforce accountability audits and adopt an 'efficiency-first' framework linking rate adjustments to demonstrated performance gains. FABAG emphasises that Ghanaians deserve reliable electricity at fair prices — not higher tariffs to finance inefficiency.
