Re: ECG Can Be Sued

Mr. Kojo Mensah, a veteran Public Relations practitioner and the plaintiff in the Hasnem versus ECG, case, has said that he won the suit against the Electricity Company of Ghana, contrary to what Ace Ankumah, an Accra lawyer, said in the Times yesterday.

According to Mr. Mensah, the case travelled from the High Court and ended at the Supreme Court in his favour.

The five – member Supreme Court panel was chaired by Mrs Justice Joyce Bradford Addo, and the judegment was read by Mr. Justice Charles Hayfron Benjamin.

Mr Mensah said the court ruled 5-0 in his favour in the suit he filed against the Electricity Corporation of Ghana.

He said "it is not true that the ECG can never be sued for negligence. They can always be sued, as it can also sue.

"The impression that companies can get away with negligence is wholly untrue", he said in his reaction to yesterday's front page story by Mr. Ankumah.
