  "account": "The Public Utilities Workers’ Union (PUWU) has postponed its planned protest against private sector involvement in the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). In a memo sent to Divisional Heads of the Senior and Junior Staff Union (SSU/JSU), PUWU informed members to organize a nationwide demonstration against private sector participation in ECG. The union aimed to present a petition to the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, and deliver it to regional ministers in all operational regions.\n\nHowever, the demonstration has been called off. This decision was made following a meeting between PUWU representatives and the Energy Ministry on Monday, September 28. Further discussions are expected to take place today, Tuesday, September 28, which may lead to a final decision on resuming the protest or cancelling it entirely.",
