GT
loses one billion cedis through cable thefts
Hohoe, Oct. 26, Ghanadot/GNA - The Ghana Telecom Company
Limited lost a total of GH¢ 100,000 (one billion cedis) from
cable theft in the Region this year.
Mr Paul Evans Amuzu, Volta Regional Manager of the Company
who disclosed this at Hohoe on Wednesday said the Company
had instituted a reward scheme of GHC 1,000 (10 million
cedis) for any information that would lead to the arrest of
persons engaged in the act.
Mr Amuzu told the Ghana News Agency at Hohoe in an interview
that the cable theft insurgence, which was prevalent in the
Ho and Hohoe areas, was thwarting the Company's operational
efforts and was depriving its customers of quality access to
their product.
He said feasibility studies had been completed for GT to
expand its operations to all tourists' sites in the Region
including the Wli Waterfalls, Afadzato and Tafi Monkey
Sanctuary as a boost to the tourism industry.
On bill defaults, Mr Amuzu said customers in the Region owed
a total of GH¢ 450,000 (4.5 billion cedis) and appealed to
them to pay their bills to enable the company to expand its
operations.
