The Unionized Workers and Senior Staff Association of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), have called on government to re-instate Mr William Hutton-Mensah, as the Chief Executive Officer of the ECG, to continue to re-position the company. The Union said government had failed to assign any reasons for the termination of the appointment of the former ECG Chief Executive Officer, pointing out that Mr Hutton-Mensah was treated with disdain and without respect . Mr Bondzi Quaye, General Secretary of Public Utility Workers Union, at a press conference in Accra, said under the stewardship of Mr Hutton-Mensah, ECG has witnessed enormous and verifiable achievements in the company�s recent history. He said the company is implementing direct services connection for customers within 24 hours, and collecting an average of 98 percent of sales during the tenure of the former ECG boss. Mr Quaye said during the tenure of Mr Hutton-Mensah, distribution losses had been reduced to about 22.8 per cent from 27.2 per cent in 2011, adding that the PURC benchmark for distribution losses is 21 per cent, while the international benchmark is 15 per cent.
