President Akufo-Addo has announced three months of free electricity for all low-income consumers, to make up for lost income following the coronavirus lockdown in Accra and Kumasi.
Ghanaians who however fall outside of this category will enjoy a 50 percent reduction in the cost of electricity for the same three months period.
