Realigning ECG tariffs without parliamentary approval illegal – MP
Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, Joe
Appiah says the government’s decision to realign
EGC tariffs is illegal since it is subject to
parliamentary approval.

Mr. Appiah made the statements on Atinka FM’s
AM Drive with Kaakyere Ofori Ayim.

According to him, MPs represent 27 million
Ghanaians in the House hence should be part of any
decision that will affect Ghanaians.

According to the Member of Parliament, all laws
concerning Ghana’s power supply pass through
parliament for the House to deliberate on them and
expressed surprised that President Mahama did not
bring this current tariffs readjustment to
parliament.

He added that the president does not have the
authority to sit in his office and make
pronouncements on realigning the tariffs and that
he ought to come to Parliament and seek approval
.

Joe Appiah stressed on the fact that per the
rules, the President does not have that right.
