Call the youth to order - PUWU to Kroboland stakeholders | 3NEWS.com

The Public Utility Workers Union (PUWU) has directed its members with the (ECG) in the Krobo District not to go out into the troubled areas due to threats and attacks from the youth.

With the current developments, it is clear that the ECG in the Krobo District has lost control over its network, posing serious safety risks to the lives of the staff and public property.”

PUWU of TUC-Ghana, therefore, called on all stakeholders to engage the youth of the area and bring them to order so that the staff of ECG can go about their duties and serve the good people of the Krobo District in a safe and peaceful environment devoid of threats and physical attacks.

The recent development by some youth of Kporwunor, Maadam, Nuasu Old town and Agbom communities in the Krobo District is said to be against the safety and lives of staff of ECG.

There are instances where some staff, on their normal work schedules, have been attacked by some youth of the area.”

The Union recalled how some youth of Krobo district took the law into their hands last month by tampering with ECG’s network, connecting power illegally, and deliberately cutting the fibre-optic connection.

The exercise started smoothly from Kpong, but when the prepaid installation team got to Nuasu on Monday, June 27, some residents protested that they do not want the prepaid metres in the area.
