A leading stalwart of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has voiced concern over the ongoing intermittent power outages in the country.
According to him, there may be something suspicious about the situation.
His remarks follow Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh’s statement, where he insisted that Ghana is not currently experiencing “dumsor,” and subsequently downplayed the necessity for a load-shedding timetable.
In response, a statement released by the Ministry of Energy on Tuesday, March 26, indicated that efforts were underway to address the energy sector’s current challenges.
Taking to his social media handle on Thursday (March 28), Mr Otchere-Darko raised questions about the timing of the current predicament.
“There is something mysteriously amiss somewhere. You have managed to keep the lights on for 7yrs, even during the height of the economic crisis in 2022. Why now? Still scratching my head…” he posted.
Currently, there is a growing call from some Ghanaians for the implementation of a load-shedding timetable to allow them to better organize their daily activities.
