President Akufo-Addo has extended the restrictions imposed on Accra, Kumasi, Team and Kasoa for the next one week.
In his address to the nation this night, he has announced that government will absorb electricity for the poor and half of the consumption for businesses for the next three months.
“overnment will fully absorb electricity bills for the poorest of the poor, i.e. for all lifeline consumers, that is free electricity for persons who consume zero (0) to fifty (50) kilowatt hours a month for this period.
In addition, for all other consumers, residential and commercial, Government will absorb, again, fifty percent (50%) of your electricity bill for this period, using your March 2020 bill as your benchmark. For example, if your electricity bill was one hundred cedis (GH¢100), you will pay only GH¢50, with Government absorbing the remaining fifty cedis (GH¢50)” – Prez Akufo-Addo said
