ECG gives Kejetia Market up to September 16 to settle its debt fully

The Kejetia Market in Kumasi is expected to settle its debt owed to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) by September 16, 2024, premised on a scheduled repayment plan.

The facility was plunged into darkness for three days after management failed to go by the payment plan.

However, after negotiations with the power distributor to offset the over 7 million debt, the market management is expected to be consistent in the scheduled payments in the coming weeks.

Public Relations Officer for ECG-Ashanti West, Benjamin Obeng Antwi, said in an interview with David Akuetteh on Luv FM.

“By August 30 if they pay GH₵200,000 we will expect them to pay another GH₵273,000 by September 6. On 10th September, we will expect another payment which is the legacy debt. The payment plan includes the May and June bills and the debt. They are supposed to finish paying by 16th September with the exception of the July bill,” he said.
