The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has warned the general public to be mindful about activities of uncontrolled bush burning to help fight the recent power outages in the country.
ECG says the uncontrolled setting of fire to clear bushes across the country is causing serious damage to electricity poles, distribution lines, and network systems.
ECG cautioned to seek legal redress against offenders whose activities destroy installation in a statement issued on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
“ECG has noticed with great concern, activities of uncontrolled bush burning, especially during the harmattan season. This adversely impacts on the quality of power supply,’’ the statement affirmed.
The statement advised the public and sundry to be safety conscious when clearing bushes, and ensure the use of fire belts to prevent uncontrolled bush burning.
