Traders at Kejetia Dubai give management a 48-hour ultimatum to find lasting solutions to the frequent power disconnections.

The electricity company of the Ghana task force on Tuesday disconnected Kumasi City’s market power over outstanding debt.

Currently, the market is depending on the standby generator to operate.

The market owes ECG a debt of 5.9 million cedis.

The disconnection of power in the market is not new as the facility has been disconnected over three times.

The traders have accused the management of refusing to pay the bill to ECG which led to the disconnection of the power

The Traders told Kwame Baffoe Agyekum they have given the management 48 hours ultimatum to restore power to the facility else they will register their displeasure with the running of the market

Currently, the entire facility depends on a generator to operate and they complain about the huge cost of fueling the generator.

Meanwhile, the managing director of the market Mr. Edmund Duffour Addai says it is never true that all the traders have been settling their bills to management and they have refused to pay ECG.

He added that the traders cannot threaten them with any timeline to settle the bill while they have refused to pay the bills.
