GECA emphasized that the trade of substandard or fake electrical accessories is even more detrimental than dealing in illicit drugs, as it poses a significant risk to people's lives, hard-earned investments, health, and overall well-being.

“Dealing in substandard electrical materials is akin and even worse than dealing in illicit substances, as it has the likelihood of robbing people of off their hard-earned investments, health and even loved ones” the statement conveyed.
