Energy Ministry Writes Two-Page Letter To Ghanaians Explaining The Dumsor And Its End

02/28/2017 9:40 am

In a recent time of the new NPP government, some part of Ghana has experienced an intermittent power supply and accordingly, some people have bitterly complained about the fear of the possible return of Dumsor. An energy supply canker during the infamous Mahama era that the NPP promised to fix when given the mandate.

Good news from myjoyonline.com is that Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko has announced the end of the “intermittent power outages”, following a successful new deal the government has reached with Ivory Coast to increase its power supply to Ghana despite the US$60 million debt accrued by the country.

MTN are straining to get their mobile money platform into every nook and cranny of our lives; and whilst it’s not necessarily a bad thing, they simply charge too damn much.
Paying 1% on any cash transaction, especially one designed for use by the middle and lower class, is simply exorbitant.

We have been living in this ‘dumsor’ for the past few weeks, but somehow government expects us not to notice, for the mere fact that it has not officially declared it.
President Mahama a couple weeks ago said the current challenges would be solved and there would be no need for ‘dumsor’ to be declared, yet we are still suffering the power cuts and worse of all, there is no timetable for us to know how to plan our activities.

First Cape Coast and now Accra, is there any seriousness at all in those running this country?

After not having light for 48 of the last 72 hours, I can officially declare that Dumsor (Can someone remind me of what the minister said we should call it?) is back.
And like all other things that is going haywire in this country, the Electricity Company of Ghana or GRIDCO or whoever is in charge of load shedding in this country wants us to cry our heart’s out before they officially announce it.

Amidst the ongoing brouhaha between the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) concerning electricity billing and tariffs, the president has asked Ghanaians to brace themselves for a possible privatization of ECG.
According to President John Mahama, “You fix a situation by taking risks. It is a risk we took when we deregulated telecommunications. If you are not ready to take risks then the world is not ready to make progress”.

Often times the currency change makes people not to appreciate so much the gravity of a certain amount. So in the interest of sensationalism, I have to point out that Ghc 18m is 180,000,000,000 old cedis.

Imagine if government itself, which should be the first to ensure that a national bulwark like ECG does not collapse, owes it this amount of money, in one region alone! It’s a miracle that there still exists an ECG at this point.

They call it the nation’s Wembley, the national stadium. Yet looking at how it’s run, you wouldn’t know that. You would think it’s some backward stadium in some backward town, and nowhere near the nation’s capital.

Maintenance on the edifice is not run, nothing is done to keep it in shape. And now the latest challenge is in regards to power.
