He emphasised that the scale of illicit electricity consumption outweighs legitimate usage, exacerbating the strain on the country\u2019s power supply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a woman cooks with 15 pieces of meat for 15 children and one of them steals ten pieces of meat, how can the remaining five pieces of meat be shared among the remaining 14 people?
