The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has disconnected power supply to the state-of-art Kejetia Market over accumulated debt.
Commercial activities have been disrupted as the trading hub is plunged into darkness and heat.
Adom News’ checks indicate some traders at the facility have not been paying electricity bills for over five months, compelling the ECG to cut the power and withdraw services.
Amidst darkness and heat, traders use their mobile phones and torchlights to transact business.
