Citi News<\/strong>,\u00a0the Deputy General Secretary of the CPP, Asani Tano, agreed with the President and said there was no basis for the sale of the company.<\/p>\nHe stated that Ghanaians will benefit \u00a0immensely if the state controls key institutions like ECG.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe strongly that if the state leads in many of the pertinent industries like electricity, water and a whole lot of things, it will go a long way in helping the indigenes live a comfortable life.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Tano, Ghanaians will go through severe hardship if the control of ECG is ceded to a private\u00a0operator or foreign firm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe privatization of the Electricity Company of Ghana or energy to any foreign company or any private company will go a long way to increase the hardship of the people of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Tano indicated that the fortunes of ECG and other state-owned companies would improve with better leadership and supervision.<\/p>\n
“We only need to appoint honest, committed and dedicated people, which we have in this country, to man these areas with strict supervision and things will be better.”<\/p>\n
