The Finance Ministry and Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) may soon be disconnected from the national grid for failing to settle their bills.
This is according to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
As stated by the power distribution company, the two state-owned organizations owe to the tune of ¢421,038.02.
This follows a backdrop after the task force on Monday disconnected the power supply to the Ghana Airport Limited (GACL) and parts of the Kotoka International Airport, which owed over ¢48 million.
The task leader, Steven Larbi Siaw, in an interview with the media, said, no indebted institution will be spared during the revenue mobilisation exercise.
“So, as you already know, we’ve been tasked. We’ve been around to make sure that the indebtedness of the ECG is brought down. So as we’ve been tasked to go ahead, we’re doing just that.
“By either taking the debt that they’re indebted to us, or we make sure that we disengage the supply, for them to follow up to the office to talk to our leaders,” he said on Monday.
He further mentioned that the public and private entities are next in line for possible disconnections should they fail to pay off their debt as soon as possible.
“We have Ghana Education Service, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Communication Data, UN Development Programme and EOCO and Internal Audit,” the Leader identified.
The task force has been embarking on an aggressive revenue mobilisation drive in a desperate bid to recover millions of cedis owed by public and private institutions.
Meanwhile, Mr Larbi-Siaw says the team will stop at nothing until all monies owed are retrieved.
