A call has been made for the government to introduce tougher regulations to address the increasing problem of cable theft.
Mr. Joseph Obeng, a member of the National African Peer Review Mechanism Governing Council, highlighted the need for stricter measures.
His appeal specifically targets regulations for metal dealers, suggesting a link between their trade and the stolen cables.
The rise in cable theft is causing problems across the country.
These thefts affect essential services and infrastructure.
Further details on the proposed regulations were not immediately available.
