When Donkor was confronted by the GWCL staff , it resulted in a scuffle after which the case was reported to the Akropong police hence Donkor’s arrest.Charges of assult, damage to property, stealing and attempted to steal were brought against him(Donkor) during the court sitting.
GWCL is praying the court to retrieve an amount of Ghc 1,618.45 as water lost in revenue and other administrative charges from the accused.
Mr Daase further urged property owners and developers to contact the nearest GWCL office for new service connections to avoid illegal connections by self acclaimed plumbers else the law will deal with such persons accordingly.
