Kumasi, July 28, GNA – Ashanti Regional Minister Dr. Frank Amoakohene has praised the Electricity Company of Ghana ECG Adum District for swiftly fixing a dangerous electrical fault threatening residents.
In a post on his official Facebook page, Dr Amoakohene wrote, “Thanks to the swift response from the ECG team, the matter has been attended to. I encourage feedback if the problem has been fully resolved.”
His post followed a public appeal made through Facebook, where a user tagged the Minister in a post highlighting the fault and its risks to public safety. The Minister then alerted the ECG for urgent intervention.
Mrs. Vivian Quansah, Manager of ECG’s Adum District, expressed appreciation for the Minister’s recognition, saying the acknowledgement reflected that the company’s efforts were being noticed and appreciated.
She told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that in response to the report, ECG promptly replaced a worn-out service cable that was delivering shocks to individuals who accidentally touched the affected pole. Additional maintenance works were also carried out to ensure the safety of residents.
Mrs. Quansah further commended Mr. Danny Young, the Facebook user who initially reported the issue and tagged the Minister, for his civic action.
She encouraged the public to continue supporting ECG by reporting illegal activities, electrical faults, transformer vandalism, and other challenges to the appropriate authorities, as the company remains committed to providing safe and reliable electricity.
In a follow-up comment on the Minister’s post, Mr. Young confirmed that the fault had been resolved and lauded Dr Amoakohene for his responsive leadership.
