ECG uncovers 1,000 illegalities - Adomonline.com

Mr Mahama explained that the action would help the ECG recover its funds for power supplied and intended to use all legal means to get power consumers to pay for what they consumed.

“Let’s be fair and honest with ourselves because there is a lot going on out there that we need to find out

It is not that we don’t know; we know that people have bypassed the meter; we know that people are using power without paying; we know that people have decided to pay a small amount of money because they have tampered with their meters; we know that some people, in building their homes, bypass the meter through the building structure.

“We need to find all these things out and get the people of Ghana to start paying electricity bills so that the ECG can grow,” he stressed.

The ECG MD charged the teams deployed to be professional in their dealings with customers, and that they should keep their calm whenever they were provoked and file the necessary reports so that action would be taken.

Moreover, he said, they should be courteous whenever they were entering the homes of customers, since that was key to building a good relationship with them.

“Despite the constraints, the Legon District contributes GH¢6,689,770.04 weekly to the revenue basket of the ECG and I am hopeful that with the launch of this programme here, the district’s revenue will increase tremendously within the shortest possible time,” he said.
