Cabinet  on Thursday gave approval to  the  Inter-Agency Taskforce put together to  rectify the incessant  complaints from Ghanaians  on the outrageous bills from the ECG.

A statement on President John Mahama's facebook wall said.

"Following our very detailed and exhaustive discussions in Cabinet this morning, we approved the steps taken by the Ministry of Power, and expect the Taskforce, which comprises the Energy Commission, the ECG, the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) and other stakeholders."

"We are not going into calculations or determine how the tariffs was arrived at, what we want to do is an audit of the systems especially with the meters.” He said.

According to the statement the taskforce has up to June 03,2016  to "submit its report and solution for immediate implementation."

It has been revealed the ECG has been unfairly charging customers and this has been blamed on their new software systems for billing clients. The PURC has asked the ECG to suspend the implementation of the new software, but the ECG says the PURC is not being fair.
