You can now buy electricity using your phone instead of having to wait in line few years ago – Bawumia on his achievements

For the first time in the history of Ghana, consumers of electricity can sit in the comfort of their homes or wherever they find themselves and buy electric power without having to join any line at the offices of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said while touting his achievements.

This, he said, is among the list of innovative measures introduced by the Akufo-Addo administration.

“For the first time in our history, people can buy electricity units on their mobile phones, we take it for granted now but a few years ago you had to go and queue at the ECG payment center to buy electricity,” Dr Bawumai said in a breakfast meeting with NPP regional leaders ahead of his start of the campaign activities, on Monday, April 29.

“For the first time in our history, Ghana has implemented Mobile Money interoperability between the Mobile Money accounts of telcos and the bank accounts of the banks. Ghana is the first country in the whole of Africa to have done this Mobile Money Interporability between bank accounts and MoMo accounts.

This has made Ghana the fastest-growing mobile money market in Africa. In fact, when we came into office MoMo transactions in Ghana were just 78 cedis per year. Last year they reached GHS1.9 trillion cedis, it tells you what we have done,” he said.
