Chairman of the sub-committee Chair of Dr. Bawumia’s campaign team, Kwadwo Nsafoa Poku has assured that the intermittent power outages otherwise known as ‘dumsor’ will be resolved by next week.
According to him, as at 2am Saturday, March 16, 2024, the President and his team were at the Peduase Lodge strategizing to find solutions to the power outages to find a lasting solution to the problem.
“…As at last night, the President was up so late and as early as 2am, they were crossing the Ts and dotting the Is. So, by next week, latest two weeks, the power crisis will be over,” he was confident.
Kwadwo Poku, who is also an energy expert indicated on TV3’s KeyPoints Saturday that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has been shedding load as a result of high load in some areas during the peak hours of power consumption.
He tells Alfred Ocansey it is erroneous for Ghanaians to term the challenge as dumsor since Ghanaians’ description of dumsor is different from that of the politician who would want to score political points out of the situation.
As an ordinary Ghanaian would consider dumsor as his/her power experiencing a challenge and being resolved, Kwadwo Poku says the politician takes it as lack of enough capacity to power the plants to provide power for the state, which is likely to cost the government in power as election approaches.
He reassured the citizenry to keep calm and expect things to be resolved in the shortest possible time.
“I can assure you; we will not enter the month of April with this problem,” he indicated.
The ECG has said over 600 transformers have been overloaded across the country and are being changed.
