Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Some customers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the Teshie district of Accra have expressed dissatisfaction with difficulties confronting the company\u2019s prepaid vending points.<\/p>\n

For the residents in Teshie, the inability to purchase prepaid credits is frustrating. In a Citi News interaction with the customers, they called for a partnership with private service providers to break the power distributor\u2019s monopoly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m coming all the way from fertiliser down, and this same issue caused me a lot of discomfort. I\u2019m supposed to be at work, but I find myself standing here at this time trying to buy credit,\u201d one of the customers complained.<\/p>\n

Another customer who shared her plight said, \u201cfor me, I\u2019m going to work. I\u2019ve called my madam that, I am coming, but I\u2019m still here. I don\u2019t know what they are doing there. So, I don\u2019t know what to do. They said they are giving numbers. I\u2019m number 299, and I\u2019m still holding on\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to sleep in darkness with my kids the whole of yesterday, and I\u2019m standing here. I\u2019m supposed to be at work. I\u2019m standing here waiting to by credit. Why should it happen that way\u201d, a frustrated customer added.<\/p>\n

Fred Johnson, the Spokesperson for the Accra West Region of ECG, in an interview last week said following complaints from some customers, technicians were dispatched to affected vending points to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n
