The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the Volta Region has arrested Yao Abielekpor, a caretaker of the residence of Mr Clement Kofi Humado, Member of Parliament (MP) for Anlo, for allegedly diverting power from the MP\u2019s residence to power a water pump to irrigate his (Abielekpor\u2019s) vegetable farm.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”y5c4AzWYGZkaJAUmP9CRIA76HRxIwaWC”]The company also arrested three other domestic power users for illegal connection of power.<\/p>\n
Officials of ECG said Abielekpor\u2019s diversion did not go through a meter, indicating that Abielekpor was using the power for free.<\/p>\n
Mr Richard Bavor, Regional Head of Loss Control Unit, ECG said aside a surcharge of GHC2,345.52, Abielekpor would be prosecuted for stealing power.<\/p>\n
He said Abielekpor was arrested by the Company for a similar offence some months ago and warned after he was made to pay for the stolen power.<\/p>\n
Mr Joseph Forson, Regional Manager, ECG, said the monitoring exercise was being roped into the routine operations of the Company.<\/p>\n
