Miss Mary Akwetey, a prepaid vendor in-charge of Nackel Vendering Point, near Old Tulaku, told the Ghana News Agency that vendors in Ashaiman had been facing network challenges for more than three days making it difficult to serve customers.

Miss Akwetey indicated that efforts to get engineers from the ECG’s Community 11 office to improve the network had proved futile.She lamented that the situation was adversely affecting their sales and causing long queues at the sale points adding that some vendors had even closed their shops.

Mr Kwame Dafeamekpor, an ECG customer, expressed his unhappiness about the network failure and suggested that the Company should be privatized to ensure efficient service delivery.Mrs Elizabeth Kpoku, another customer, said due to the network challenge, food she had kept in the freezer had gone bad due to her inability to get power at the vendors.

She pleaded with the ECG to rectify the network problem to allow them purchase the needed power.  Madam Theresa Osabutey, Tema Regional Public Relations Officer, ECG, told the Ghana News Agency that the “issue was an isolated one” and that the challenges would be tracked and rectified as soon as possible.
