I know about two homes in my area in Tamale who for the years now are involved in power theft. I contact a staff of VRA in Tanale and showed her the houses in question. On the day the Loss Control Team was to strike my area, someone from the office called the culprits to alert them them of the operation. There are accomplices with the organisation who are aiding some households to steal power.
The reset agenda must start at NEDco. There are lots of criminals there parading themselves as workers. In fact, they aren’t workers but wreckers. WAKE UP, Acting MD

These thieves are the loudest in blaming governments. They label governments officials as thieves. But give them a chance in government, and they will carry the whole governments building away. Why won't a thieving population produce thieving governments? As the people are, so are their governments.

Power theft is very common in all NEDco and ECG operational areas in Ghana. The irony is that the theft are actually done by VRA and ECG staff for their girlfriends, family members and friends.
The problem comes from our political and administrative governance. People who earn so much money as salaries and with huge Allowances and per diems don't pay for using utilities, water, telecommunications and electricity, and you expect poor households, unemployed people and many underprivileged people to pay huge bills, that's nonsense. I wholeheartedly support the people who are stealing power from NEDco and ECG. Ghanaians must find smart ways to survive and live happily because no politician or senior public or civil servants thinks about the ordinary Ghanaians. They are thieves in political and religious attires.

Ok. So let all continue to steal. But shut up when dumsor begins. If you won't pay, the utilities will run down and we all sleep in darkness.

So what is the percentage loss in the ashanti region and what are you doing about the loss if only you you know where the problem is why don't you arrest them.

This is the beginning of failure as a new MD we take exception to this rubbish from a mediocre leader who doesn't know how to fix problems.
If you know what the problem is please go and solve it and stop granting this useless press conference.

To tackle the issue, compare % of power theft in recent years to somewhere around 2005 to 2010, it will be obvious that there is a swift increment in the menace.

However, have you ask yourself the reason(s) behind that? In my opinion, all boils down to the category of lion metres your outfit succeeded in installing to households by even changing them in past years. In fact, anytime you change a new brand of meter, the previous one seems to be better in terms of consumption relative to cost to the consumer. I am a typical example, I have used the postpaid and prepaid meters and there is huge difference between the duo in terms of cost. The former is three times better in cost. Your system is a cheat.

With the excruciating heat and the new meters, the need to consider the impact of climate change and the number of air conditioners used in relative to income level of Ghanaian workers, it will prompt you guys to collaborate with government to give consumers reasonable bills so they can pay to avoid power theft. When you adjust your system, it will reduce the power theft to your advantage. I don’t think anybody wants to be a thief knowing the consequences when he or she is apprehended. But, circumstances call for such social vices. Therefore, tackling the root cause is the beginning of the solution.

It's in their DNA. Check it out with all the ZONGO COMMUNITIES, Nima, Aboabo, Asaase and the likes. Even non moslems & Christians in those places steal. They are all stealers big time.
