"We want to urge the government to ensure that tariffs are sufficient to ensure that the services provided by both electricity and water are sustainable and that the country can afford."
PUWU Secretary General Michael Adumattah Nyantakyi told Citi News that the subsidies were levying on utilities.
The Union of Public Service Workers (PUWU) is arguing for what it calls realistic rates for consumers.
According to the union, this will ensure that consumers pay fees in relation to the activities of the companies.
The Union said that subsidies paid by the government to consumers paralyze utility companies.
According to the structure, if the government removes subsidies on tariffs for small residential consumers; they can pay more than 400% increase on rates.
This means that consumers will pay 1.90 GHS per kilowatt of energy instead of the 39 pesoswas per kilowatt currently paid.
