The Minority in Parliament has criticised the government’s proposed reduction in utility tariffs, describing it as grossly insufficient to ease the financial burden on consumers.
The caucus argues that Ghanaians have been subjected to inflated tariffs based on outdated economic assumptions, resulting in an estimated overcharge of 1.5 billion Ghana Cedis in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, March 18, Collins Adomako-Mensah urged the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) to urgently review its tariff-setting methodology.
“It has been three weeks since the minister’s directive, yet the report has not been published, and the minister has not addressed the public. Consumers are still watching their prepaid credits being drained.
“The Minister for Energy must submit the full investigation report provided by ECG. Ghanaians deserve to know the scale of the problem and the collective actions taken,” he said.
