Following a special monitoring operation, a team of military and ECG personnel disconnected over 50 households in the Lower Manya Krobo District from the national grid last Friday.
The households, including that of Lower Manya Krobo MP, Ebenezer Teye Larbi, were discovered to have engaged in power theft.
A combined team of ECG and military personnel conducted a special monitoring operation, visiting several households in Lolonyo, Kpong, and Odumase Krobo, all in the Lower Manya Krobo District, to investigate reported cases of illegal connections by some residents.
Over 50 households in Lolonyo and Kpong were busted for illegally drawing power.
According to the ECG technicians, the perpetrators had circumvented the meters provided to them, while others who did not have meters were illegally drawing power from their power lines.
At Odumase, the entire household of the Lower Manya Krobo MP, Ebenezer Teye Larbi, was disconnected from the national grid for the second time after the team discovered he had installed a new meter that was not reflecting in the ECG metering system.
Meanwhile, the ECG reports that those found guilty will be charged soon, with some likely facing legal ramifications.
