Revenue Mobilization and Customer Education


As part of the Queens Week, we embarked on customer education. The queens in the other districts also participated in their districts. We educated them on how to conserve energy, pay their bills on time for us to deliver good services to tnhem, and how to use the prepaid meters. This was after the Queens had gone for mass dicsonnection the previous day

National Secretary's message

Mrs Helena Appiah-Kubi is the National Secretary of the Power Queens Club. She shared with us a special message from the Managing Director.

Revenue Collection

According to her, the first concern is the revenue collection. She said due to the power outages, the revenue collection has reduced. People now use less of our product which is power and therefore pay less. Mass disconnection will be the antidote for our defaulters to pay us. It is very difficult to disconnect customers due to the current power outages but we still have to do it.
Due to the decrease in revenue, money for operations is not enough. She therefore advised Queens who are in the habit of conniving with people to inflate bills to desist from that. We should all help ECG to stand on its feet in times of crisis.
As part of our National programme, the club has embarked on revenue collection competition. Each region has set a day in each quarter of the year for a special revenue collection and the outcome is reported to the National Secretariat. The revenue collected will be ranked, taking the regional targets into consideration and the region that will emerge first on the list will be awarded at the next congress.
According to her, we have to be very active to help ECG to achieve its objectives and strategic goals.

Districts Offices

She said the vision of the MD is to empower the districts. The districts currently are regarded as the engine of growth. The regional offices do not have direct customers like the districts and therefore do not generate more revenue. The well educated staff would be sent to the districts to prove themselves and help the Company to improve upon its current position. She said we must prepare our minds that most of the regional staff will be transfered to the districts very very soon.

Attitude
she also urged us to change our attitude towards work and customers. How do we relate to our customers? If we have to rate ourselves, is it satisfactory? We must try very hard to satisfy both internal and external customers if we want to help ECG redeem its good corporate image.

District Managers (DMs)

ECG is changing and the vacancy for DMs are not going to be for technical men or women only. District B and C are available for people who are competent and have the qualifications to work. She wants as many ladies to apply. She advised us to develop ourselves for future challenges.
The conditions are that you should know the operations of ECG. She advised us to go to our collegues in the other units to educate ourselves on their job. We should ask questions.

She concluded by saying that, we should not let the self development be wasted but it should reflect on the job because ECG is changing and we have to change too.

National Executive's Special Visitation to Kdua

Visit

How would you feel if you have a mother and relatives who never visited you at the boarding house? It's sad eh? What about a headmaster of your school who sends you messages through the housemaster that you should not eat before 9 pm but only sits in the office and set rules? That's very bad too eh? Luckily for us, National Executive Members are not like the headmaster and the relatives above; they visited us today, June 6,2007 and we were very happy and empowered to see them. Their appearance alone shows how we have been able to demystify all those qualities attributed to men. They appeared very bold and beautiful and you will need no one to whisper to you that they are women who are determined to be agents of change for a new ECG. They were:

  • Queen Miranda Okine - National President
  • Queen Helena Appiah-Kubi -Financial Secretary
  • Queen Joyce Micah - Asst. Secretary
  • Queen Benedicta Carr -Treasurer
  • Queen Patricia Hanson -Organizing Secretary
  • Queen Sarah Nartey -Porter
  • Queen Victoria Nuamah -Chaplain
  • Queen Augusta Bansah -Sports Organizer

They are the newly elected executive at the last year congress at the Elmina Beach Resort.

New Faces

Some of faces are new to the members. Faces like Queen Joyce, Queen Sarah, Queen Augusta, Queen Victoria, Queen Benedicta and Queen Patricia. Even though they appeared very young, we see them as role models to prove that age is just a figure.
Personalities like Queen Miranda and Queen Helena have very rich experience in matters concerning Power Queens Club. Though they were in the previous they still have fresh ideas to share with us

CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING 1

Cervical cancer is a cancer that affects the cervix of women. It is said to be the second most common cancer that affects women throughout the world.
A total of 4,000 new cases are recorded in the world yearly and 80% of these new cases are said to be from developing countries such as Ghana.
One has cervical cancer when the cells of the cervix begin to grow haphazardly and out of control to the point where they form a large and extensive "sore"
According to health experts, one in every 10 Ghanaian women often has haphazard growth in in the cells but the good news is that not all these changes develop into cervical cancer.
Like all cancers, cervical cancer develops slowly over a period of years. In the early stage, these changes are small and are like rashes and are called"dysplasia".
Also, health experts say, normally, the rashes do not cause any symptoms and some heal on their own while others continue to grow. The ones that continue to grow can develop into large sosres over a period of years before developing inot cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer normally affects women between the ages of 40 and 60 although the early rash can appear when a woman is in her twenties.
