  The fire brigade is right, I thought the ECG personnel would give convincing reasons that would curb the issues raised by the Fire Dept than comparing countries.

  The issue to fixed meters on electricity poles is not ideal but due to power theft, these measures should be interim whilst a permanent solution is being considered.

  A most uninformed Fire Officer. Is he saying any electrical item installed outdoors catches fire? How about traffic lights, street lights? If he should go to ECG he would see the level of protection given to these meters.

Just because Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire are doing something doesn't mean we should do same. Why can't we also do what the British or South Africans are doing?

  It's only in primitive counties that businesses are run pre-paid meters because the ECG incompetent management cannot collect the payments tarrif charges. If the only solution these nincompoops can implement coupled with meters on poles then they are not worth managing supply of of electricity but rather sacked them to go and manage street and sanitary cleansing.
