The Deputy Clerk of Corporate and Financial Management Services Division in Parliament, Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, has refuted claims that Parliament is indebted to the tune of GH¢23 million to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
On Thursday, February 29, 2024, there was a power outage in Parliament House and Job 600, the office complex for Members of Parliament, attributed to the purported GH¢23 million debt, as part of the ongoing “Operation Zero Balance” initiative by the ECG.
In an interview with Citi News, Mr. Ahumah Djietror clarified that Parliament does not owe the stated amount, asserting that the house has been making payments. He acknowledged occasional discrepancies, citing failures in the ECG’s system to accurately record the payments.
According to him, Parliament made a GH¢13 million payment on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, reducing the outstanding debt to approximately GH¢12 million. He emphasized that they possess records of all payments made as evidence.
Mr. Ahumah Djietror expressed the situation in Parliament as unfortunate and assured that efforts are underway to reconcile the accounts and settle the outstanding balance.
“I expect that with everything that has happened in Bawku, the people of Bawku have suffered military brutalities as a result of the activities of the military. As part of the measures the president is implementing to deal with the situation in Bawku, I expect that we will address the plight of those who have suffered military brutalities. People have been killed by soldiers, and I have petitioned institutions and made complaints and expect that these issues will also be addressed by the president.”
