The Tower Clock at the Central Post Office in Accra has been at a standstill for the past three weeks while the authorities of Ghana Post await the arrival of workers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to fix a power problem that has been identified as the fault.
Mr James Atram, Chief Manager of Ghana Post, told the GNA in Accra that the ECG has identified an underground fault in the power cable that supplies energy to the clock and the siren.
"They have promised to repair it and we have been calling them everyday," Mr Atram said.
Mr Atram said until the ECG repaired the power cable all other things that needed to be fixed could not be done.
As at Thursday the clock to the east of the capital reads 7.15, to the West 7.10, to the North, 7.10 and to the South 7.20.
The clock has been described in a section of the media as the most accurate among the lot in the capital. It is also referred to as the Big Ben of Accra.
