Management of the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA), has noted with concern comments attributed to the Secretary of the ECG Senior Staff Association, Patrick Binyemi, and contained in a myjoyonline article on September 21, 2016 entitled: “MiDA directed to halt privatisation of ECG.”
A Statement issued by MiDA indicates that there have not been any directive to stop its activities with regards to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) Privatisation.
Below is the full Statement:
RESPONSE BY MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (MiDA) TO MYJOYONLINE ARTICLE: “MiDA DIRECTED TO HALT PRIVATISATION OF ECG”.
MiDA wishes to state categorically that these comments are untrue and inaccurate.
Indeed, under the auspices of the Chief of Staff, MiDA is participating in ongoing discussions with the Public Utility Workers Union (PUWU) of ECG and ECG Management in respect of their concerns regarding the ECG Private Sector Participation.
As these discussions are ongoing, MiDA is not in a position to disclose details at this time.
MiDA however wishes to inform the public that no directive to halt its activities in respect of the ECG Private Sector Participation has been given, and no such directive was discussed at the last meeting held at the Flagstaff House, Accra.
