Former National Youth Organizer of the Convention People's Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh has implored Executive Members of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) to resign from their post, for dereliction of duties.
According to him, the PURC is not only mandated to ensure a reduction or an increase in utility tariffs but to also serve as a check on the activities of the energy providers.
Speaking on Oman FM, the CPP activist recounted the failures of the Commission, claiming it has failed to regulate the energy service providers.
A couple of weeks ago, the PURC announced new changes in utility tariffs, indicating 78.9% on electricity and 52% on water.
The tariff adjustments have since courted controversy as some political figures and Ghanaians have kicked against it.
