Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) in Tarime District has uncovered dishonest customers at the border of Sirari who connect power to ghost elements including those in the neighbouring Kenya, causing the firm to lose millions of shillings.
The recent operation conducted by
Tanesco around Sirari downtown uncovered some five legitimate customers
who after being connected used other illegal means and ways to connect
power to some third unregistered elements across the border.
The Tarime District Tanesco Manager,
Beatus Kebwe, said in Tarime that three Sirari customers were
apprehended in connection with illegally reselling of power to their
neighbours.
‘’The inspectors were of the view that
the unscrupulous customers had decided to hide the illegal power cables
several meters underground to avoid detection by the relevant official
and would-be whistle blowers from leaking the information to Tanesco
officials,’’ Kebwe said.
He explained that the trio’s electricity
power lines were disconnected with immediate effect and they were
ordered to report to the district’s office to receive calculations of
their penalties according to the stipulated regulations.
They had been supposed to pay a total of
shs 2,179,460.00 for the illegal power used. Kebwe noted that the other
two untrustworthy customers were found to have tempered with the metres
causing inconsistency in the amount of units shown by the gadgets and
what they actually used. ‘’The suspects’ electricity power lines were
also disconnected with immediate effect,” said Kebwe.
He stressed that all suspected customers
who were served with the notice should execute the fine as per the
power utility’s directions in 14 days from the dates they were served
with the notices.
Otherwise, stern measures would be taken
including the possibility of being taken to court. Kebwe urged all
potential clients to exercise honesty while entering into power
connection agreements with TANESCO.
They should also desist from using
illegal technicians known as ‘vishoka’ and seek professional advice from
proper technicians legally approved to conduct wiring in their homes.
