Power cut to Ghana’s parliament over $1.8m debt

Electricity has been cut to Ghana’s parliament building due to an outstanding debt of $1.8 million.

The state power company, run by the government, disconnected the parliament building from the power grid after the debt remained unpaid for an extended period of time.

It is reported that the parliament building has been running on a backup generator since the power cut.

This incident highlights the financial challenges facing the Ghanaian government and the need for all institutions, including parliament, to fulfill their financial obligations.
