50 soldiers to assist ECG install pre-paid metres in Krobo – MCE.
A force of 50 military personnel will be sent to Krobo to help ECG officials with the installation of pre-paid meters in the area.
Mr Eric Tetteh, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area, said the meters would be erected in Kpong and its environs in an interview with Accra 100.5 FM on the midday news on Tuesday, June 14, 2022.
The directive is clear, according to him: "When they enter your house and you indicate you don't want a pre-paid meter, they will disconnect you and move on." They will link you and go on if you desire it.
"This is a difficult decision, but it is the last resort," he explained, citing the actions of some individuals in pushing people to oppose ECG's installation of pre-paid meters in these locations.
He claimed that ECG's debt continues to grow as a result of people's failure to pay their bills on time.
He emphasized that the alternative is frightening, as the municipality risks losing power unless a severe decision is made to fix the area's pre-paid meters.
"We remember what it was like when the electricity was turned off by ECG a long time ago," he remarked.
He begged with the crowd to stay calm and work with the ECG police.

The Adamsu Presbyterian Junior High School in Adamsu, Bono Region's Jaman South Municipality, is in a poor situation, having had no major renovation work since its construction decades ago.
The school, which was created in 1945 as one of the colonial administration's model schools, has suffered from authorities' neglect.
The four-unit classroom block, which houses over 200 students, has thus become a death trap that could collapse at any time because the structure is ancient and deteriorated in various areas, including the pillars, flooring, and roof.
According to the residents, snakes and other poisonous reptiles have been killed in classrooms on multiple occasions by students, but their complaints have gone unanswered.
Madam Adwoa Ferkah has warned that a lurking threat exists, as the old school structure has devolved into a ticking time bomb, ready to detonate at any moment.
Atta Agyapong Ernest, Assembly Member for the Adamsu Newton Electoral Area, told GhanaWeb that the classroom building began crumbling years ago, but the school has no choice but to use it despite the grave danger to both instructors and students.
"The colonial masters built this structure in 1945, but it has seen no serious renovation." Look at the structure; no one needs to tell you that it could collapse at any time, posing a danger to the students who use the block. "However, we must continue to use it due to the school's infrastructural deficit," he explained.
He stated that the community had conducted a short-term needs assessment and presented it to the Assembly, with the construction of a new school facility being a top priority, but that no results had been obtained thus far.
"We have made various attempts, including presenting a community needs assessment in the short term," the Assembly Member grumbled, "but the Assembly has yet to come to our rescue."
