The Member of Parliament (MP) for South Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has condemned the recent theft and illegal sale of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) cables.
He has called for severe legal action against all individuals involved in the theft, sale, and melting of ECG cables.
In a post shared on X on March 30, 2025, Dafeamekpor stated, "This ECG Cable Stealing-Selling-Smelting Syndicate must be locked away for a long time." He also explained that the state allocates huge funds to purchase electricity cables, yet due to bureaucratic inefficiencies, some officials fail to collect the materials from the ports.
He added that instead of being used for their intended purpose, these valuable cables end up in the hands of criminals. "The State buys electricity cables and pays for them.
