PDS saga likely to affect Ghana, US relations – Haruna Atta

Former Ghana ambassador to Namibia Alhaji Haruna Atta has expressed worry over the seeming tensions between the Ghanaian and American Governments over the PDS-ECG brouhaha.

According to him, the situation is likely to stifle diplomatic relations between both countries, if not handled with utmost care.

Government has terminated a contract between concessionaire PDS and Ghana’s Electricity Company.

The ECG announced that it had assumed full operational and financial control of the electricity distribution business in the Southern Zone of Ghana with immediate effect.

Speaking to Bola Ray on the Starr Chat Wednesday Alhaji Harun Atta said “I’m not an expert in these things but It seems there’s been some bad faith along the line and I think that is what is bringing about this confusion.”

“And now that it seems even we are picking a quarrel with the United States, I don’t think it arguers well for us. Something should be done. Those who have been responsible for this impasse, if they have to make way, they should make way.”
