The Ministry of Finance is facing disconnection from the national grid due to an outstanding electricity debt of GHc1 million.

Despite consuming power for the past ten months, the ministry has not paid its monthly bills, resulting in an accumulated debt of GHc1,025,918.00.

In addition to this, the ministry has also failed to release funds to various municipal and district assemblies to settle their electricity debts.

Sources within the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) indicate that the issue needs to be addressed promptly, leading to the decision to disconnect the finance ministry to send a clear message to authorities.

It has been reported that a team from the ECG will engage with the Minister for Finance, Dr. Amin Adam, to discuss the outstanding debt and reach a resolution.

Furthermore, the ECG is pursuing Ghana’s Parliament over a debt of GHc23 million. The ECG national task force has warned that parliament will be disconnected from the power grid if the debt is not settled promptly.
