Information reaching GhanaCelebrities.Com has it that actress-Yvonne Nelson who recently championed the #DumsorMustStop campaign has had her electricity disconnected for the reason that, she was not paying her bills and was also using illegal connection….
Apparently, ECG has disconnected the entire RED ROW Estate where Yvonne Nelson recent took a mortgage and currently lives for illegal connection.
Though unconfirmed, GhanaCelebrities.Com is told that, Yvonne Nelson bypassed air conditions which take more power and therefore charges, just to be paying her bulbs all this long….
For now, the criminal aspect of this situation is obvious as stealing electricity supply in Ghana is a crime. But the true question is; is this just an Yvonne Nelson witch-hunt or is Electricity Company of Ghana just doing their jobs?
If ECG is just doing their jobs, why did they take this long to spot this illegal connection—and why certainly immediately after the #DumsorMustStop Vigil?
According to ECG, illegal connection “occurs when the customer connects electricity supply to his premises without a meter.”
In the past, ECG has mentioned that the company loses millions of dollars a year as result of illegal connections—which affects the ability of the company to operate efficiently and as such illegal connection is somewhat part of the reasons why Ghanaians suffer power outages.
The important question is; why is Yvonne Nelson or her estate management people not paying the right electricity bills—if this is in whole the truth?
