The Tema Region of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is appreciating its stakeholders for helping to keep them informed on various electricity distribution issues in the different operational areas of the Region.
The Tema Region operates with nine districts, namely Tema South, Tema North, Nungua, Ashaiman, Afienya, Juapong, Krobo, Ada and Prampram.
For all these districts, Whatsapp group chats have been set up which includes Assembly Members, traditional leaders and other community leaders who share information on outages in their various communities.
Speaking on the positive impact being made by these platforms, the Public Relations Officer for the Region, Sakyiwaa Mensah said that "these platforms offer valuable support, in that, some take pictures of broken, tilted or weak (at the base) poles, they inform us of sagging lines and give us locations so we can attend to these".
