Former Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka, has called for commendation of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and its Managing Director, Samuel Dubik Masubir Mahama, for their diligent efforts in maintaining favourable power supply to the public amid alleged reports of their huge loss .

His comments come on the heels of recent debates over financial management by the power supply company after news of the company's incurred loss of 19 billion US dollars.

In a discussion with JoyNews Newsfile host on a segment of the show, the former Attorney-General condemned the negative news reports about the ECG's defects while commending the company's managing director for what he describes as his bravery and courage.

The ECG embarked on a revenue mobilisation exercise that saw several private and government agencies, such as Parliament House, which owed the company, taken off the national grid.

"I am very worried that the youngman is doing some very wonderful things there , ECG and yet we aren't talking about those positive strides that he is making, but yet singling out out what we call defects and taking him on, etc.

Look at the recent things he did. going to Parliament and others, very courageous to let the money come out so that we'd be able to keep our commitments to see the power on. All those things we aren't commenting on, his level of courage.

Commending this move, he recommended that ECG begiven an opportunity to explain and 'defend' the reports flying around before a verdict is given. ECG should be given an opportunity to vindicate itself, he added.

"ECG has been collected without being given any hearing at all.We haven't listened to them to hear their side of the story and all the reports we get we use as a basis to hang them.

Know that these reports are interim reports and ECG will provide answers and so it will be the case that at the end those faults that are alleged to have been found will be perfectly answered.

Let's give them the opportunity to explain themselves and I think ECG is doing a wonderful job. Samuel is doing a good job, trying to ensue that our lights are on in the midst of difficulty we should criticise them yeah they aren't beyond criticism but at the same time we should acknowledge them" , he noted.
