Member of Parliament for the Bawku Central constituency in the Upper East region, Mahama Ayariga is advocating a renegotiation of the Electricity Company of Ghana deal with American firm, the Millennium challenge Compact.

According to the Chairman of Parliament’s Subsidiary Legislation Committee, the decision to hand over ECG to a private sector to manage is demeaning.

The MP called for a rethinking about the decision and described the entire deal as “unnecessary”.

The deal which has to do with only managing ECG, the lawmaker said is not good for the country’s image.

This he said means we can’t manage our own basic needs.
