Ghanaians laud government for fixing power crisis

Very little, if any complaints, have been heard about the energy crisis popularly referred to as ‘dumsor’ or its rippling effects on homes and businesses over a period now.

The frequent power outages which left Ghanaians distressed for a long period seems to have receded or perhaps, ended.

In a bid to know the current feeling for sections of the public, Ghanaweb spoke to a few persons whose responses indicates the situation is getting better, most of them confirming an absence of ‘dumsor’ in their areas and suggesting that the power glitches have been fixed.

Some Ghanaians in fact recounted, that their last ‘dumsor’ experience lasted barely a minute while others have had no such occurrence for a long period.

This comes on the back of Minister of Information, Mustapha Abdul-Hamid’s announcement at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Government and The Business Year magazine, in Accra, on Wednesday. He disclosed that government had managed to stabilise the power supply situation and that Ghana is now exporting electricity to her West African neighbours, La Cote d’Ivoire.

The news, according to some Ghanaians is a clear indication that Ghana is developing and has become a ‘beacon of hope’ for other countries.

The high cost of prepaid electricity units from ECG however was an impediment for them. They bemoaned the situation, asking government to intervene and remedy the situation.
