Kotoka International Airport Finally Got About An Hour of Dumsor Over the Weekend

Whoever or whatever has placed a curse on Kotoka International Airport must be living a king or queen’s dream now. Just last week Thursday the place got flooded and today we hear that it finally experienced the infamous dumsor.
Passengers at the arrival hall of the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) were on Saturday afternoon left in total darkness for close to an hour after power supply to certain parts of the airport went off.
The power cut which happened around four o’clock in the afternoon, brought activities at portions of terminal two to a standstill forcing officials and patrons  to switch on lights from their mobile phones to navigate through the darkness.
Some of the people who were at the airport at the time of the unfortunate mishap said they were shocked by the development. One of them per reports said ‘I can’t believe this is happening, Ghana’s premier international airport in darkness, this is disgraceful’.
Well what is good for the geese is equally good for the gander, anything is possible in this country of ours. Were we all not here when the Parliament experienced theirs, when hospitals had theirs and the casualties it has caused.
I won’t be surprised if we one day wake up to news of dumsor at the flagstaff house.
The minister of Transport Fiifi Kwetey recently inspected ongoing works at KIA and stated that over 70% of the project at the arrival hall at terminal two had been completed.
Meanwhile Citi Business News has gathered that the Ghana Airport Company Limited has acquired a 5000KVA generator set as back up for terminal two to supply power anytime the national grid goes off.
Characteristics of the typical Ghanaian, our leaders wait until after a mishap before they install temporary measures to a problem that has all the while been staring us in the face. Oh Ghana, until when!
