Ghanaians will soon enjoy a reduction in the amounts they pay for electricity tariffs, according to the Minister of Energy, Boakye Agyarko.<\/p>\n

Addressing members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at a rally during the party\u2019s National Delegates Conference at Cape Coast on Saturday, Boakye Agyarko said the reduction is in fulfillment of a promise made by the Akufo-Addo government.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”CTiZZBDnTn06j6FFmepBpGVKQiDDqPOa”]\u201cHave patience with us, we have promised that electricity tariffs will reduce. Just as we said dumsor will be over, I\u2019m assuring you that, very soon when you see your electricity bills, you will know that when NPP promises it honours it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The NPP prior to the December 2016 general elections accused the Mahama government of ripping Ghanaians off with high utility bills and promised to reduce it when it comes into power.<\/p>\n

They also assured to put an end to the erratic power cut which affected the country in the past.<\/p>\n

Mr. Agyarko at the rally assured that \u201cthe days of dumsor will not return.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said although there have been few hitches at the end of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), \u201cbefore the end of this year, the lights will always be on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will then know that we brought on board good motives and knowledge and we will continue with such trend so that Ghanaians will be comfortable,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
