Residents of Akosombo have hit the streets to express their displeasure over what they described as high electricity bills by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
The demonstrators, some of whom joined from surrounding communities say, the problem of high tariffs started when the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) changed their meters.
The situation, according to them, has also forced most of them to close down their businesses.
The residents including seamstresses, cold store operators, and other artisans are threatening not to pay any bills if the prices are not reduced.
The demonstrators made up of young and old are ready to face off with Volta River Authority which handles electricity related issues in some parts of Asuogyaman.
Adom News’ Kwame Yankah who was at the scene said the over thousand demonstrators marched to the office of Volta River Authority despite earlier attempts by a handful police personnel around to stop them.
