Energy and Green Transition Minister, John Abdulai Jinapor, has dismissed rumours that the government intends to sell the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), clarifying that any private involvement would solely focus on enhancing revenue collection.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Thursday, February 20, Mr. Jinapor stressed that the government’s aim is not privatisation but rather seeking partnerships to improve ECG’s operational efficiency, particularly in billing and collections.

"We have not said we are selling ECG. Let no one misquote me. We are only seeking partnership in the distribution end vis-à-vis billing, collection activities of their work," he stated.

Highlighting the urgency of the move, the minister pointed out inefficiencies in ECG’s current system, sharing a personal experience to underscore the issue.

"I’m telling you the truth that in my house, for three months they have not even collected the bills, and that is one of the issues we are trying to resolve," he revealed.

Mr. Jinapor assured the public that the government remains committed to strengthening ECG’s financial standing and operational capacity rather than pursuing privatisation.

He called on Ghanaians to disregard false information and support efforts aimed at boosting revenue collection for improved nationwide service delivery.
