The culprits should not be made to pay for only the theft of power but a penalty and a jail sentence to deter others .

Its ECG staff that make the illegal connections for them...acquiring ECG meter is now a priviledge and without bribe payment, you cant get it. So the problem is with ECG employees who connive with customers

Gonja mafia John Mahama led QNET P/NDC is aggressively implementing Kofi Awonor's doctrine - genocide against Akans - Akancide.

He is using the courts packed by the hegemony that he has created to achieve the P/NDC stated objectives.

Gonja mafia John Mahama has packed all institutions tions with his kinsmen, relatives, family, friends and those with the right names to head all state institutions : have a look at the CEOS and heads of all boards.

Disclaimer : before you claim bla bla tribalism, let me remind u that it was Scammer john Mahama aka Gonja mafia and Isaac Adongo who called a sitting president Akyem Mafia.

I suspect there is an arrangement with ECG at the local level. Doesn't make sense for an estate developer to steal electricity, especially when he is not the one paying. Details will emerge slowly

ECG's problems are solved now. As a lesson, let them pay all the current debt of ECG. The rich that can spend millions of cedis to buy homes can't pay electricity bills....fools.

So ECG is so inefficient! They collect their salaries and cannot detect such power theft after over sixty years of existence. No system to check such theft. They have all sort of workers who rather aid in such illegality. Most of the time ECG workers are behind it. This is why the few honest customers end up paying for all such inefficiencies.

This reported power theft, and many others, is the reason why it is sound policy for the government of Ghana to be the sole agent for the sale of land in Ghana. In Ghana, it is a fact that the absolute majority of the people living within its borders get their water from government, we get roads from the government, electricity from the government and major portions of telecommunication and mail delivery from government or government agencies.

Since the definition of planning, development and land management invariably means having most, if not all of the listed items to each plot of land and community, will it not be logical to mandate and oblige the sale of land in Ghana to include all of the above listed items available at each parcel of land before it is put out there for sale?

Get them arrested instead of disconnecting power only! They are thieves like any other thief. Arrest the owners of these properties and bring them to the law. First warning should be followed by penalty. The should be a flat rate for offenses (5000 cedis for first time or jail sentences for 2 years). There shouldn’t be any second warning, 5 years imprisonment straight! Owing is not stealing but stealing is stealing period!

The ECG outsourced contractors are doing the illegal connections. ECG and some of the State own institutions should have private participation, like GOIL, GCB Bank. Thank you.
