If people are saying that this is

How about a government mandate requiring all landlords/property owners in Ghana to retrofit their structures to include a space/utility room for electric meters? Better yet what if the government mandate stipulates that all structures in Ghana where there is a need for and usage of electric power shall be fitted with electric meter and upkeep or maintenance of household meters a responsibility of homeowners and or tenants with only ECG authorized staff to service or tamper with ECG meters?
We are mostly irresponsible in Ghana (we have had decades of homeowners/tenants using illegal electrical connections at the expense of the ECG) as such the government entity of ECH may just have to treat us like wayward children for our own good. Our stealing and dishonesty has brought us unto this path and there is no turning back until we become responsible citizens with a desire to be civil and acculturated in the communities we live.
It is my hope that after all structures in most Ghana metro and rural areas do use electric power from metered sources the ECG can get back to monthly billing for homes willing to abide by strict monthly utility billing cycles. Until then I hope the ECG fight these ungrateful and backward landlords and tenants alike through the legal system for as long as it take.

Ghanaians need to be educated that noting is free in this world. The roads have got to be maintained, everyday rubbish has to be looked after, where do you put them. Somebody has to pay for it.

What they are crying foul about is ECG. Ow putting the meters on the electricity poles on the street. If you haven't seen some before then ask and you would be told than jumping the gun and assuming people don't pay their bills for electricity used??
These metres are prepaid and had to be loaded from reloads le cards that's why the call for protection at night in case they need to go out to load when it gets finished.

If you think that is ok fine let them keep on with that. I come to Ghana a lot in a year but hey, who I am to challenge you. I just found it strange.
The comment was people have been cheating on paying the due bills.
I just expressed my views about it.
This is very typical about Ghanaians.
You think you have lived out there so you think you know more than we do.
But, you see, we do.
So all over the country they should call for protection to re-load ?

Have you seen these meters on the poles yourself before? Do you know how many are put on one pole?? And do you know how to reload these metres?? If you did, u wouldn't be hiding behind the Internet and insinuate that Ghanaians want to steal that's why. It's for the convenience. Why shldnt the metres be inside?? It had always been inside but did someone died??? No!! So why?
The excuse from ECG is that they are putting them outside because they are unable to access people's homes whenever they want to cos most times the occupants are away. What happened to those times when they put the bills under our gates?? They still do anyway so what changed? Did someone die?? No!!

I agree and support your assertion. The meters should be fixed inside the property but not to be exposed anywhere outside the home which could cause health and safety dangers and high risk, vandalism, theft of the meters, risk of tempering and damages. This is an example of civilized action than the people of Nungua taking the law into their hands to remove and break or cause damage to the meters- a state property. Well done to the people of Nungua

Bastards will insult appear on this forum to insult the president because of tribalism. Idiot party of the tribalist will never get my vote. Your own brother criminals are the ones in government departments/agencies who perpetrate the corruption and mismanaging, subotaging government left and right. How many of Mahamah's kinsmen manage our ministries? Evil people will not achieve anything when they can not offer alternatives to our problems. Making noise and insulting does not persuade Ghanaians because they are sensible enough to know the real crooks of Ghana politics.

You buy the credit to input into that meter that is on the roadside pole yourself!!!recharging your meter should be in the house and not have to walk outside.ECG with all that education IS without thinking. Oh what is wrong with us. ECG is not smart.ECG does not have a maintenance culture.19 Mar,2015. I stayed home and recorded more than seven times that power went on and off before 6pm that day.7pm lights went out till 10pm. I am done

Koblah, you only know about Florida on where electric and gas meters are placed. In New York City electric meters are outside but Gas meters are in the individual homes. Do not jump into the chorus of those who criticizing the ECG without knowing their reasons for doing what they did. You are in an advance civilized country as such you should always be mindful of your use words not to put others in harms way. It's very sad for a uncivilized person such you are advising your people to violently fight the ECG and the police to achieve their aims. I pity you. Try always try to say something that will bring peace than what will bring PAINS and SUFFERINGS TO OTHERS. My advise to you is do not fight violently in Florida on frivolous matters as you are advising the people in Nungua to do otherwise you will go home as a cargo.

The ecg should come clean. The meters are substandard and may be the cause of the persistent house fires so decided to relocate them on the poles.

There is no need to load at odd hours. These meters can be read so users are able to know if they have enough units to take them through the night. The right call in my view is insist on the ability to add on to existing credit without loosing any benefit. Our safety is our personal business. No need to risk going out at night to load power. In any case the units are not sold at night. Let us allow ECG to do their job and let us take personal responsibility for our safety. Soon someone will go to court insisting there should be a doctor in his home because they could fall sick at night and may die on their way to the clinic

Where on earth de we put prepaid meters on electricity poles to stand in the rain and pose as an electrocuting machine in the communities. These things are discussed first with the community and proper and lasting solutions are proposed and agreed upon before implementation. How can these guys at ECG think they know better than the community. and yet their lack of common sense makes them think they must be placed on electricity poles outside just creating avenue to make money from the community into private pockets. This Ghana is a sad place at times to live in. Only criminal solutions are implemented for the benefit of the pen and paper criminals working at offices founded with tax payers' money.
