ECG Sees Significant Revenue Growth

On July 16, 2025, Energy Minister John Jinapor brought encouraging news: ECG’s monthly revenue is up about 47.3% compared to the previous year. That’s a big lift—driven by billing reforms and stronger financial discipline. But Jinapor also reminded Ghanaians that while things are looking better, there’s still a long road ahead. Why It Matters Fair billing: ECG recently introduced the “Zeos” billing system, replacing a flawed one. This has helped them collect what’s truly owed. Trust in payments: A single Treasury account and a clean, predictable payments flow—called the cash-waterfall mechanism—means money finally goes where it should. Bright Numbers That 47.3% growth isn’t just hype—it shows concrete progress. In June alone, ECG pulled in GHS 1.6 billion—a solid year-on-year gain. A Cautious Tone Despite the good news, the Minister stressed that ECG still faces big debts and structural challenges. He urged innovation—like […]

During a July 16, 2025 event at Jubilee House, Energy Minister John Jinapor shared good news: Ghana’s energy situation is finally calming down. He said the sector is showing real signs of stability and recovery—the headaches of power outages seem to be fading. What’s Changed Gone are the persistent blackouts that once plagued homes and businesses. Now, power comes through more reliably and consistently, and people are noticing.

This increase comes from cleaner billing, stronger financial discipline, and […]

Farmers to Be Compensated for Asutsuare‑Aveyime Road

On July 16, 2025, Roads Minister Kwame Agbodza visited the Asutsuare–Aveyime stretch of the Eastern Corridor programme and announced that farmers impacted by the roadwork will be compensated for lost crops. He emphasized, however, that only pre-approved structures qualify for payout. Project Overview The 63.1 km road includes a 39 km single carriage from Dufor–Adidome to Asikuma, and a 23.9 km two-lane segment from Asutsuare to Aveyime, with a major interchange at Asikuma Junction.

Afenyo‑Markin Alleges DRIP Machinery Used for Galamsey

On July 14, 2025, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo‑Markin told Parliament that machines meant for the District Road Improvement Project (DRIP) are being hijacked for galamsey, with the government turning a blind eye to the misuse. What He Said The DRIP machinery, intended to build and repair roads, is being used illegally in mining pits. He accused authorities of doing nothing to stop this, describing it as blatant impunity. He warned that this theft of state property worsens environmental destruction and threatens Ghana’s economic recovery through agriculture. Why This Matters Public property theft: DRIP is funded by taxpayers and donors. Misusing the equipment undermines public trust. Environmental harm: Galamsey brings water pollution and deforestation—damaging land meant for farming. Economic fallout: Ghana aims to grow its economy through agriculture. Environmental damage works directly against that goal. MP’s Call to Action Afenyo‑Markin urged […]

Law to Regulate Shipping Charges in Pipeline

On July 15, 2025, Professor Ransford Gyampo, Acting CEO of the Ghana Shippers’ Authority (GSA), announced plans to introduce a Legislative Instrument (L.I.) under the newly enacted Act.

Key Features of the L.I. Mandatory Charge Submission The GSA can demand shipping lines declare all charges—including demurrage and surcharges—for official evaluation and approval. Approval Authority Charges will be reviewed and either approved or rejected; shipping lines are prohibited from implementing fees without prior authorization . Pending approval, demurrage fees must be suspended, with the Authority stepping in to prevent illegal billing.
