When will Dumsor be over?

 

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president of the Republic of Ghana and the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has assured that the ongoing erratic power supply, popularly known to Ghanaians as ‘dumsor’, will soon be resolved.

Speaking to the Clergy and Imams in Akropong on Monday, April 29, during his campaign tour of the Eastern Region, Dr. Bawumia expressed confidence in the government’s efforts to tackle the issue.

“I know there are challenges and I don’t want to paper over economic challenges. We are going to work on them. Currently, we have power issues but I say that from the information I have received from the minister for energy, those power challenges will very soon, and I mean very soon be a thing of the past,” the vice president said.

The state power distributor, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has come under criticism from businesses, groups, and individuals, for the recent erratic power supply. 

GUTA, the Ghana Union of Traders Association is the latest group to call on the ECG for a load-shedding timetable that will guide their operations. 

The state power distributor has maintained that the current challenge does not require a load-shedding timetable.  

This has become a great worry and concern both to the citizenry and the corporate world as they have to incur more costs in fuelling their plants to keep power on for production.
