Mass Disconnection


As part of our 20th Anniversary Week celebration, we embarked on intensive revenue collection exercise for the Company.
On Tuesday, 23rd September, 2008, with five dockets in hand (i.e Regional Office), the first batch of queens went out with the disconnectors to disconnect many customers. The same thing happened in the following districts:-
Oda, Asamankese, Tafo, Akwatia, Kibi, Nkawkaw, Donkorkrom, Suhum, New Abirem, Asesewa,
Begoro and Mpraeso.
On Wednesday, we the second batch of queens also set off for the continuation of the mass disconnection. I personally disconnected 22 customers as Asokore.
On Thursday, with the assistance of the Regional Director, Mr Arthur Forson, we were given the information pick up and many leaflets or handouts on power conservation. We moved to the markets and had a chit chat with customers. Before we set off, we were given a detailed 'tuition' by Sam, (BPO) so we did not give them wrong 'apo'. Most of them complained about the frequent outages without warning, delay in the acquisition of a separate meter and wrong billing.
Customers living in compound houses appealed to us to make more meters available to them.
Item 13
Our RD blessed us with delicious Item 13 from the Chris Cafe Restaurant to welcome us back from the customer education. Isn't he a darling?????..... May he live long!!! Amen
Today, is the Africa Mama's Day. We have put on our nice African Wear to make a presentation to the Company. It is also supposed to be a staff durbar day so we invited Dr Addy to give us a health talk on the eye BUT a staff is being buried today and most of us are on our way to bid him farewell. With a Power Queens delegation of three, they have joined the RD and others to Akwatia for the funeral.
