The Senior Staff Union (SSU) and Junior Staff Union (JSU) of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have announced plans for a nationwide demonstration against the proposed Private Sector Participation (PSP) in the company.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) unions - Senior Staff Union (SSU) and Junior Staff Union (JSU) - have announced a nationwide demonstration against the proposed Private Sector Participation (PSP) in the company. The demonstration will occur on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, across all operational regions, starting at 8:00am and concluding at 4:00pm.
Christopher Apawu, National Divisional Chairman for the SSU, and Lucky Larry Agboka, National Divisional Chairman for the JSU, signed the directive on Thursday. The unions aim to present a petition to President John Dramani Mahama and regional ministers in each operational region.
Workers are to assemble at specific locations, such as the Trades Union Congress (TUC) forecourt in Accra and the ECG Regional Office at the Airport Roundabout in Kumasi, for the demonstration. Other regions' workers should gather at their respective ECG regional offices. Further details on the demonstration's organization will be shared through the relevant committees.
The demonstration will be led by the Public Utility Workers Union (PUWU), which has formally notified the Inspector General of Police based on Section 1(2) of the Public Order Act, 1994 (Act 491). Red armbands will continue to be worn until another phase of the action is announced. The unions emphasize their commitment to solidarity throughout the entire resistance to the PSP arrangement.
