Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh

Minister-Designate for Energy, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh holds the strongest view that outsourcing the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to the private sector will be the best option for the country.

According to him, it has been on the radar of every government formed in Ghana to outsource ECG hence, in his view, there is the need for the private sector to takeover.

However, he opines that, the privitization of Electricity Company of Ghana will have to take a different dimension in order to make it workable.

Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh made these comments in response to transactions between ECG and PDS that nearly invited financial sanctions from foreign partners based on the millennium compact agreement Ghana signed with the US government in the energy sector.
