They called on the government to immediately do something about the increments, as announced by the Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC), effective February 1, 2023.

The PURC announced the increment of electricity and water tariffs by 29.96 percent and 8.3 percent respectively, attributing it to the unstable exchange rate, rising inflation, generation mix, and the weighted average cost of natural gas.

Speaking in an interview with the nkyeremu news, the residents said they were unhappy and disappointed in the PURC, saying “Ghanaians are already struggling with the hikes in the prices of goods and services.”

“Or is it because the government increases the base pay by 30 percent that is why the PURC is also pushing the increment without considering the fact that prices of goods remain high”, he stated.

“The average household electricity tariffs were raised from an initial GH¢20 to over GH¢70 and any increment again would make life tougher for the ordinary Ghanaian”, Mr. Agyemang noted.

Madam Hannah Osei, a trader, said, “Life has not been easy at all and any increase in electricity and water bills would greatly worsen our living condition”.

Mad Osei noted many Ghanaians could not afford to pay electricity and water bills and called on the government to intervene.

It is sad just after 24 hours, VRA claims ownership, this is a cheat and does make sense. The next morning, you will hear the politicians saying we have provided electricity to all the people.

I guess the cost has been involved in the power supply by individuals should be paid back by the government since it is the sole responsibility of the government to provide electricity to the people. The daytime robbery among some organizations in Ghana is not reasonable.

There is no platform where an MP or the Chief Executive said, the public support in the electrification projects.
