Of course as Ghanaians, our sense of judgement is clouded by absurdity and affiliation—and I will continue to repeat this until we decided to employ critical thinking when an issue crops up.
Over the weekend, GhanaCelebrities.Com broke the news that, the apartment of Yvonne Nelson at the Redrow Developments Limited’s estate at the East Legon Hills in Accra has been disconnected by ECG for running illegal power connections and non payment of bills together with others.
The important of this report is not just the 41 estate house which were disconnected for non-payment of bills and illegal connections but also, Yvonne Nelson together with the CEO of the same estate were key players of the recent #DumsorMustStop Vigil which was staged in Ghana—-as a protest against the power outages.
Beyond the illegality of this action, how can someone living in an apartment under illegal connection or non-payment of bills and another who is the CEO of an estate company operating 41 houses under illegal connection/non payment of bills match against power outages—when one of the problems of the power outages is the fact that ECG is in debt, affecting its efficient operation?
A Ghanaian does not pay her bills or lives under illegal connection and another has 41 houses running on illegal connection and yet, same Ghanaians go out there to protest against a problem partly caused by their own illegalities? This is epic hypocrisy and the many of this is why our country is deeply in an apocalyptic state.
