Fix tilted electric pole at Sokode-Gbogame Rome
Tilted electric pole at Sokode Gbogame Rome
Dear Editor,
I would like to draw the attention of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the Ho municipality of a tilted live electric pole located at Sokode-Gbogame Rome
The tilted electric pole was initially reported to ECG exactly a year ago by the residents afterwards, which saw an initial assessment from the company.
However, despite the frequent visits of ECG officials to the area for regular maintenance, the pole seemed abandoned as it still remains a threat to residents, passersby and visitors.
The abandoned pole if not swiftly addressed could lead to loss of lives and properties of residents especially during a rainfall or a thunderstorm.
Residents of Sokode -Gbogame Rome are therefore calling on the authorities of
ECG in the municipality and by far the region to as a matter of urgency take appropriate steps to fix the tilted electric pole.
When the pole is fixed, residents would heave a sigh of relief as they had lived in fear for about a year.
I believe when much efforts are put into fixing the pole, it would be completed in no time and help save lives and property of residents.
Yayra Mensah,
Sokode- Gbogame.

Provide adequate security for Christmas
Christmas is four days away and Ghanaians are preparing feverishly for the grand occasion.
It is a momentous occasion on the calendar of Christians. It marks the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
After the various church services to mark it, the whole atmosphere turns into one for merrymaking while people also share gifts to friends and family members.
Interestingly, the same period witnesses a surge in criminal activities as cases of armed robbery, phone snatching and other negative vices happen.
That is the reason why I want to appeal to the security agencies to be watchful within the period.
The Police, especially is already stretched as a result of the recent elections held and preparation for the January 7 swearing in ceremony to follow but that should not leave criminals with a field day.
Just as the service intensify patrols within the period, I wish to appeal for a repetition of the exercise to curb crime in the society.
Residents can also help in this regard by providing information on the activities of strange characters in our various vicinities.
With these in place, one can be sure that the celebration would be peaceful and enjoyable, devoid of troubles

Don’t prophesy to cause fear and panic
Dear Editor,
Curtains on the year 2024, is gradually drawing to close, with many, achieving their dreams while others hope for a better 2025.
Amidst this, churches have planned their watch night services with various themes for the night hoping to give Christians and Ghanaians at large a chance to enter the New Year with optimism.
At the service, there will prophecies or predictions for the coming year, with some causing fear and panic among the populace.
In the year 2021, the Ghana Police Service banned prophecies during 31st night services, also known as watch night services.
Such prophecies, according to the police has caused fear and panic among targeted persons
It seems churches and their leaders have forgotten about this ban, I wish to call in the police to remind the churches to enforce the ban which were mostly about the death of prominent persons in the society.
I believe this will again bring sanity into the Christianity and the society at whole
