A CON ENERGY EXPERT IN THE PERSON OF CHARLES YVES WEREKO-BROBBEY WAS PLANTED BY THE ASANTE MAFIA, LED BY JUNK JA KUFFOUR AND MPIANI, TO DIG THROUGH VRA COFFERS AND PULL OUT THE AREAS WHERE THEY COULD CHOP GHANA SMALL. MEANWHILE, THEY SINGLE-HANDEDLY MESSED UP THE VRA POWER SYSTEM IN THEIR IGNORANCE AND LEFT US IN THE DARK. EEEEEVERYTHIGN NPP TOUCHED IN THEIR ERA BECAME WHITE ELEPHANT...EVERYTHING COLLAPSED BEYOND REPAIRS. NOW THEY ARE WORKING HARD TO DESTROY THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS BY INDULGING IN INWARRANTED LITIGATION AT THE SUPREME COURT TO THE INCONVENIENCE AND DISPLEASURE OF GHANAIANS ESP. THOSE WHO VOTED FOR THEM. CARCASSES THEY ARE.

After Oxford University sacked Nana for fondling a female student his father was able to get him into Legon. But at Legon Nana raped the late Amele Tagoe but because of his father's influence nothing happened to him. Besides rape was not a big deal those days.

These inefficient people at he top of organizations always amaze me. They wait for the harm to be done and then start telling us stories. They will give another date when the time comes. All they know is take fat salaries and leave the poor suffer. Meanwhile they have regular and uninterrupted power supplies because they can afford to buy expensive generators in their homes. Greedy bastards.

We should all shut up! We deserve what we are receiving. If u vote for an incompetent government that keeps lying to the citizenry that is what you get. Were we not told that load shedding will be a thing of the past by Dec 2012? Let us all sit in the darkness and dine with the mosquitoes cos we deserve just that

Let us be fair to the masses. How many can afford the initial investment? The majority of Ghanaians struggle to pay their rent for accommodation.

Terribly annoying, that is the problem in this country....the majority if our people do not listen, nor read nor reason. You are right, we were told it would end December 2012 and it did seem to end now it continues with no consideration for our lives and businesses that are being turned upside. but instead of holding executives of The institutions responsible for this mess including yes the govt of the day, who else, accountable & responsible, people and journalists! Carry on as if nothing is wrong!!! Terribly Annoying indeed!

Is the VRA and the GUWL not taking Ghanaians for a ride? These statements are insulting especially when one takes into consideration the many broken promises they had made to Ghanaians which came to zero. I think, these managers are taking Ghanaians for fools. The two institutions need a vigorous shake-up and possibly sacking punishment?

i think the VRA should do something about it as soon as possible because in some part of the country it is making business very slow and causing damages in some homes

I do not think many people believe whatever information is provided about when the load-shedding will stop. Maybe the VRA, govt or whoever gives out these information, need not bother because not many people trust them.

Didn't President Mahama state last year that the electricity shedding problem would be the thing of the past by the end of 2012?
So the President lied.

It is easy to look high up at the first leader and blame him. Read the following text and give me your opinion about the two different explanations given by Mr. Fletcher:

This same man, Mr. Samuel Kwesi Fletcher, was is reported by The Daily Guide yesterday to have mentioned to reporters during a tour of the VRA’s installations (at Tema, Kpone, Kpong and Akosombo) among others that the load shedding exercise is due to the closure of the Takoradi Thermal plant for maintenance work that has been necessitated by the institution’s inability to collect its debts from government, the increasing growth rate of electrical power demand in the country, and the depletion of power system reserve margins. That was quite a mix-up of issues by a man who should know better.

A few days later (today), he is at a radio station (Citi FM, this time) telling Ghanaians that the load shedding exercise would end after March, 2013 when the VRA would have received additional gas supply from Nigeria to boost power generation in the country.

What I will like to know is how he expects us to swallow these different stories: 1. You shut down a plant because you need to do maintenance. 2. You have production problems because of lack of raw materials.

I am beginning to think that: Our leaders are taking it a fun to be invited to radio station shows to discuss issues. It does not matter whether they have prepared for such discussions or not. It does not matter whether it is the right time to be present at such talk shows. It does not matter whether they can contribute positively to the discussions or not. It looks as if what matters is their presence at such shows and their ability to say just anything.

An issue such as the supply of regular power to feed the motors of the economy is not a childish affair that has to be given to anyone to handle. What we need in our institutions are competent, productive and efficient leaders (executives) who will be able to turn our institutions round and move us into the 21st century without fear or favour. These executives receive fat salaries, ride in the best cars, and get to live in the best residential areas; all out of the taxpayer’s money. It is time we made them respond to their actions and inactions.

To start with, Mr. Fletcher should issue a more plausible and sensible press release to tell us what is really causing the load shedding, because we cannot have a shortfall of power supply that is initially attributed to the closure of a thermal plant for maintenance work, and then two days later he comes to tell us that the shortfall is due to a gas pipeline that is not operational

THAT, THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED, IS NOT A FARCE.
IT IS CLEAR THE GREEDY CORRUPT NDC BASTARDS AND CRIMINAL AFARI GYAN'S EC RIGGED THE ELECTION, HOWEVER, MANY DOLTISH GHANAIAN VOTERS WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE EVIL NDC DWARFS. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.
