Originating from the dream of the Osagyefo
Allied with his ambitious plans for the Akosombo
Ghana had decided to go the path of hydro
A resource to lift mother Ghana into a hub
Smashed to pieces with the corruption club
Because a few decided in the dark to stab
From the VRA as the sole resource producer
In focus, ECG; the ailing and choking supplier
At the end of the rot and chaos, the customer
Albeit ideally supposed to be a matter of right
Today’s reality, the average man has to fight
In a tortuous battle aimed at getting this light
Before the ‘lights’ reaches customer’s sockets
Homes and industries are pitch dark caskets
Meanwhile, officials/gorro boys fill their pockets
A major corruption endemic nerve center
Without bribes and shortcuts, a process bitter
All in an effort to get from ECG, a simple meter
With GH¢ 460 million of power spent in default
Indeed, grave wonder is ECG’s financial results
At best my fellow countrymen; all but an INSULT
‘Systemic failures,’ certainly a befitting label
For the many times, power has been unstable
Little wonder, insiders steal and sell ECG cables
The good power supply days remain a recount
Partly because of thousands of ‘closed accounts’
As our power goes waste through theft fount
As key stakeholders of the ECG policy level rod
Worsened ECG financial strain with fees sword
Whatever happened to the company board …
Back from the field with facts, TEAM TIGER EYE
Defaulters run to pay, state coffers heave SIGH
Anas Aremeyaw and co, score marks HIGH
Delivered task called: ‘The President’s Assignment’
Post ‘Enemies of the Nation’: freshest consignment
On all found culpable and complicit, an indictment
