Has the time now come for the ECG to be sued in a class action lawsuit?

Dear critical-reader, the question that a patient, long-suffering people, who also happen to be wise and aspirational Africans, ought to ponder over is: Has the time now come for the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), to  be sued in a class action lawsuit, by concerned electricity consumers in Ghana?

Whatever be the case, something drastic definitely  needs to be done, by dissatisfied power consumers, to shake up the ECG. For sure. Nothing else will do. Full stop.

According to Google in answer to the question: Why is electricity the most important invention? "It adds light to the world and is part of the solution to most modern problems. Also without electricity, it would be impossible to communicate with the rest of the world and the world as we know it would not be as advanced.30 Aug 2016."

That is how pivotal electricity is today,  dear critical-reader. Yet, from one's personal experience of dealing with the ECG's Central Regional branch's Obom Road, Kasoa North District Office, one has come to the rather painful conclusion (after experiencing endless stonewalling by crafty and unsympathetic  ECG staff), that only a class action law suit, with the ECG and the industry regulator, the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission  (PURC), as co-defendants, will bring about needed change to transform the ECG into a well run company, for which consumer satisfaction, and fairness,  matters, above all else, and, are operational priorities.

As one sees it, presently, the ECG has obviously been hijacked by ruthless insiders, to enable them enrich themselves, at the expense of electricity consumers nationwide, to the detriment of Mother Ghana. That is intolerable for a state-owned entity providing an essential service for society, in the digital era.

Clearly, dear critical-reader,
something drastic needs to be done by dissatisfied power consumers, across the entire territorial landmass, of our Republic, to shake up the ECG from the stupor it is currently in.That is why the time has now definitely come for concerned electricity consumers to sue the ECG, in a class action law suit.  Full stop. Case closed.  Haaba. Yoooooooo...
