I beg to differ Mr President, as my experience last night and the night before, a for a week or so prior to that, would attest to the reemergence of dumsor.
We thought they were thinking of bringing out a time table, but now they claiming nothing like that is even happening.
The President, John Dramani Mahama, has called on Ghanaians to relax as dumsor is not returning and his government would fix everything soon.
The President made an address to mark the celebration of Eid ul-Fitr, and said in his remarks that whilst challenges abound, dumsor is not back and that the power supply would be normalised soon.
“We are not declaring load shedding, I believe things will be normalised. But we are taking steps every day to ensure that Ghana has security when it comes to power.” the President said.
The President reiterated that the power challenges stem from problems with the crude supply from Nigeria, and outlined steps taken to solve them.
“We have recently suffered some generational problems. I held a stakeholder meeting with all those involved in the power sector. Because of sabotage in Nigeria on the terminals, crude oil that we ordered last month has not arrived and so it has created some generation problem for us.
“But I have asked the Bulk Oil Storage Company to start storing at least one month of light crude oil supplied to Ghana so that in the event anything happens at the supply end in Nigeria, we are not affected the way we are currently affected. And, so, I will crave your indulgence and urge all of you to understand.”
The President added that ECG’s insane tariff regime is over, as the company has been ordered to readjust their billing system.
