- The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has reconnected the Believers Worship Centre to the national grid following the payment of an outstanding debt totaling GH¢308,741.16.
- The reconnection marks the end of a public standoff between the utility provider and the church’s founder, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, who had earlier accused ECG of unfair targeting.
The Believers Worship Centre has been reconnected to the national grid after settling a GH¢308,741.16 electricity debt, ending weeks of tension between the church and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). The disconnection, which took place on August 26, sparked public debate after the church’s founder, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, claimed the move was politically and personally motivated.
ECG, however, maintained that the disconnection was strictly procedural, citing the church’s accumulated bill as the reason for the action. In a statement issued by its Accra West Management, the company confirmed that power had been restored and described the resolution as amicable.
The utility provider also pushed back against claims of bias, emphasizing its commitment to fairness and transparency in dealing with all customers. ECG acknowledged the cooperation of the church’s leadership throughout the process and encouraged future dialogue to avoid similar disputes.
The reconnection is expected to restore normal operations at the church, which had reportedly relied on solar backup during the outage. The incident has reignited conversations about utility billing, transparency, and the role of public institutions in managing high-profile disputes.
