Ashanti West – 21 May 2025
As part of efforts to curb the menace of vandalizing ECG installations in the Ashanti Region, the Management of ECG Ashanti West Region on Wednesday 21st May 2025, engaged artisans of Suame Magazine.
The engagement which took place at the forecourt of the Ashanti Regional Association of Garages Office at Suame Magazine saw the nation’s largest power distributor engage artisans like welders, mechanics, private electricians, spare parts dealers and scrap dealers on salient issues pertaining to electricity supply in the Ashanti Region.
The engagement comes after recent attacks on ECG transformers, pylons, meters, cables and service lines by unknown individuals which often lead to power outages in the Region and affects the financial health of the ECG after spending millions to replace vandalized and stolen equipment.
Addressing the artisans, Ing. George Amoah, Ashanti West General Manager, explained the effects of purchasing or selling ECG equipment as scraps and appealed to the artisans to help curb the menace of vandalized ECG installations in the Region to enhance power delivery.
“We distribute power supply with our transformers, pylons and cables so when essential parts are stolen, power supply will be curtailed and this will affect businesses, homes, schools, hospitals and other installations, hence the need to help ECG protect our installations. We humbly appeal to all of you to desist from purchasing and selling stolen ECG items and report any individual who try to sell such items to the police”, he said.
Present at the engagement were Regional Commercial Manager of Ashanti West, Mr. Jonathan Asante, Marketing Officer of Ashanti West Nana Yaa Fosuwaa, Regional Communications Officer of Ashanti West, Benjamin Obeng Antwi and Suame District Manager, Ing. Emmanuel Adusei.
