Sekondi Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly spends about GH¢76,000 on fixing stolen electrical cables of street lighting systems in the metropolis.

“It is worrying to note that nation wreckers have made it their business to steal the underground cables and I am calling on the general public to help arrest these perpetrators”, he exclaimed.
The mayor added that ” the assembly would continue to maintain and repair the streets light as it is work in progress”
