Over 70 hospitals that owe the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) will soon be disconnected from the national grid, the national taskforce of the power distribution company has noted.
It said the exercise comes after these health facilities across the country have failed to honour their debt which is about GH¢261 million.
37 Military Hospital is reported by Citinewsroom to owe GH¢33,477,392.71, while Police Hospital, an amount of GH¢6,109,568 and University of Ghana Hospital GH¢2,249,767.
Other notable health facilities owing ECG include the Ministry of Health, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Ridge Regional Hospital, Ho Teaching Hospital, and Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, among others.
It would be recalled that the Managing Director of ECG, Samuel Dubik Mahama Esq said the revenue mobilization exercise carried out by his outfit is backed by the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission’s LI 2413(2020).
This L.I. empowers ECG to access all its installations at any point in time.
