Ghana’s electricity regulator, Energy Commission (EC), has cautioned Ghanaians against unscrupulous persons who are using the Commission’s name to collect monies for the processing of applications and renewal of certificate for some of their services.

In a public notice issued by the Commission, it said it has come to the attention of the Commission that some unscrupulous persons are collecting monies for the processing of applications for and renewal of electrical wiring certificate to various categories of qualified electrical wiring professionals.

The Commission said it does not own or operate any mobile money and, therefore, urged the public to be wary of any person or groups of persons parading themselves as representatives of the Commission and demanding monies via mobile money.
