Some residents of Somanya in the Eastern region have clashed with workers of the Electricity Company Ghana (ECG) in the area over billing disagreements.
The angry residents told Adom News’ Asante Korbea that their move is to protest against exorbitant bills submitted to them by the ECG this month.
According to them, the ECG officials are going around the community disconnecting power to homes without explaining to indigenes the sudden ballooning in their bills.
“I paid GH¢100 last month, but this month they brought me a bill of GH¢4,500. We cannot pay such huge bills. We have embarked on a peaceful protest to seek answers for the quantum and shocking changes,” one angry resident said.
According to reports, the residents have caused damages to a pickup truck belonging to the state power distributor.
They are therefore calling on the government to as a matter of urgency intervene or face their wrath.
