Using the army to install Krobo meters was a mistake - Adib Saani.
Security Analyst Adib Saani has said that the choice by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to utilize staff of the Ghana Armed Forces for its prepaid meter establishment practice in the Yilo and Manya Krobo districts was a mix-up.
Saani attested that utilizing the military officials has prompted the turmoil encompassing the meter establishment work out.
"They committed an error from the very first moment, going with the military, which I totally kicked against in light of the fact that it was so outlandish. Why (did they choose to utilize) the military and not the police? I think ECG discharged the principal shot, and that has finished in this pressure. What's more, today, we have a local area of 1000s of individuals without power," he said in a JoyNews interview checked by GhanaWeb.
He added that the ECG ought to have drawn in with individuals of Krobo to cause them to comprehend the requirement for the meter establishment as opposed to attempting to utilize force.
The security examiner further expressed that assuming the power supply to these networks were taken out purposely by the ECG, then the organization would be in a difficult situation since it against the law against the law to deny individuals their entitlement to get to drive.
"As per the ECG, it (the power cut) is a consequence of what they depict as an impedance in the organization. In this way, we really want to know beyond a shadow of a doubt whether for sure it is because of conditions outside of their reach or it is conscious on the grounds that, under specific worldwide shows, having power is a right. Assuming it is purposeful, I'm not a legal counselor, but rather I know that it's unlawful, and it adds up to bunch discipline," he said.
In the interim, the Managing Director of the Electricity Company Ghana (ECG) has safeguarded involving the military for the prepaid meter establishment work out.
He made sense of that the tactical work force sent were specialized individuals who were there to help with the activity and safeguard the ECG authorities.
He likewise supported the choice of his outfit to cut the power supply from networks in the two districts in the Eastern Region since July 27, 2022.
As per Samuel Dubik Mahama, despite the fact that he knows the outcomes of slicing power supply to families and organizations, the correct thing should be finished.
He said that the ECG was left with no choice except for to slice the power supply to these networks since all endeavors to inspire them to pay for the power they use have demonstrated purposeless and have even brought about a portion of his officials being gone after.
"… power (supply) is a matrix; in the event that someone is treating with it, you can't give the other individual stable power, and in the event that we don't approach the lattice, how might we work? Thus, we then, at that point, chose to close down that line since they continued to trip the line that was prompting Somanya. In this way, we then, at that point, chose to close down the entire feeder since we really want to close it down, come and plunk down and we should have a discussion as the manner in which we will push ahead," he said.
