During the specified period, the team conducted routine checks in Sekondi, Takoradi, Agona, Tarkwa, and Sefwi Wiawso districts.
Collaborating with the police, ECG established a police unit to combat illegal connections and related activities. Ofori urged the public to report any suspected illegal connections to ECG to help curb the issue.
