THE Minister of Energy, Mr Joe Oteng-Adjei, has urged electrical contractors to make good use of their electrical directory in order to advertise and promote their expertise.
He also encouraged them to use it as a tool to connect the entire membership of electrical contractors and the general public.
He commended the efforts of the electrical contractors for their contributions in the safety and reliability of appliances in the society.
Mr Adjei was speaking at the launch of the third edition of the electrical contractors’ Directory by the Ghana Electrical Contractors’ Association (GECA) in Accra.
The directory is to help address the concerns of the general public on the use of electrical appliances.It is also to guide the public in choosing the right electrical contractors from the association.
Mr Adjei also urged the contractors to comply with the norms, ethics and standards that were associated with the electrical profession.
“It is only by doing this that you can win the confidence of the general public and the government who would then use your service for the socio economic development of the nation,” he said.
The Minister of Water Research, Works, and Housing (MWRWH), Mr Allan Bagbin, said organising regular training programmes for the members of the association would ensure compliance with the code of conduct.
He said this was necessary due to the prominent fire outbreaks in prominent public buildings which were mostly due to electrical faults.
The National President of GECA, Mr Joseph Walker, appealed to the MoE and Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to take a look at the importation of inferior cables used for electrical works.
“ Inferior electrical cables used for constructions do not last long and this causes major electrical faults,” he said.
He also requested for the separation of electrical works from the main building works so as to ensure effective installation of electrical cables.
The Managing Director of the Nexans Kabelmental Ghana Limited (NKGL), Dr E. K. Annan, who was the Chairman for the occasion said the directory was an effective way of identifying with electrical contractors.
He added that the directory would help identify quality cables for building construction.
He also encouraged them to use it as a tool to connect the entire membership of electrical contractors and the general public.

He added that another sure way of improving on the performance of electrical contractors was to collaborate with other professionals in the construction industry.
“ This would ensure best delivery in your work and also improve on your performance which would inturn help eliminate fire hazards,” he said.
Mr Abongo also assured the electrical contractors the enforcement of standards for electrical designs and building codes in an appropriate revised Building Regulations of 1996 LI 1630.
