Samuel Mahama, the managing director of Electricity Company Ghana, has defended the decision to cut off power to the municipalities of Yilo and Manya Krobo.

Mr. Mahama said the disconnection was in place during a Tuesday interview on Nana Akosua Konadu’s Hard Truth program.

The irony, he added, is that we go about believing that we have a right to electricity when in fact it is a privilege.

From Somanya to Kpong, communities in the towns of Yilo Krobo and Manya Krobo are not connected to the national grid.

Since Wednesday, July 27, the areas have been complete without electricity due to Electricity Company Ghana (ECG) turning off feeders delivering power to settlements in the two municipalities due to unlawful connections.

ECG claims that particular obstinate residents who were disconnected for refusing to adopt prepaid meters had tampered with their transformers and reconnected power to their homes.

Families in the communities of Yilo and Manya Krobo claim that as a result of the power outage, mortuary operators are requesting them to come to pick up their loved ones’ remains.

Because of the widespread power outage, there are concerns that the bodies are starting to decompose.
