The Circuit Court in Accra sentenced an electrical technician, Henry Teye Adjirackor, to a GH5,400 fine yesterday for illegally installing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) meters on premises.
In default, he will be imprisoned for 18 months. Adjirackor was convicted and sentenced based on his own guilty plea.
He was charged with one count of stealing, one count of conspiracy to steal, and two counts of intentionally interfering with or knowingly allowing interference with the ECG distribution system, meters, or any equipment.
Adjirackor denied the first three charges but admitted to the fourth count of illegally installing an ECG meter for Comfort Odoi at Chorkor for a fee of GH600.
Lambert Keriba's bail application was granted by the court presided over by judge Bright Samuel Acquah after he argued that the accused was a law-abiding citizen, responsible, had a family, and did not pose a flight risk.
The prosecution opposed bail because the accused had pleaded guilty to one of the charges.
However, the court granted the accused GHC20,000 bail with one surety who must reside in the jurisdiction and earn at least GHC1,000 per month.
The first accused, an electrical engineer named Daniel Abban, 56, was absent from court and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
Prosecuting, head of Investigations and Prosecutions, at the ECG, Mr. Paul Abariga, told the court that the complainant in the case was a staff of the ECG.
He said the accused, Daniel Abban and Henry Teye Adjirackor, worked as an electrical engineer and an electrical technician, respectively, and claimed to work on electro-meters.
The court heard that last June, the complainant and other ECG Korle-Bu District staff discovered that some meters used by customers were stolen while conducting routine checks for illegal connections and non-functioning meters.
Mr. Abariga stated that the meters were immediately disconnected and that the users were instructed to report to the ECG Office. When questioned, customers named Abban and Adjirackor as the people who provided the meters.
The case has been rescheduled for August 27.
