  Al they know is to lie and heap of lies, deceive us, ruin our electrical gadgets like fridges, deep freezers, tvs, radios computers etc. When however a customer defaults in anything, they are quick to disconnect him/her. If this company is not useless and good for nothing, what else is it?

  Not long ago Ebola mahama slammed Ghanaians as having short memories because they did not praise him for the temporary lull in the chronic 'DUMSO DUMSO' albatross around their necks. The lull has so far proved to be a mirage. Ghanaians are still living with DUMSO DUMSO, load shedding and what have you. So who has short memory?

This country needs truth and accountability, which we cannot even obtain within government institutions. We have mediocre managers people who have no business acumen at the help of important institutions. We cannot continue with power cuts and people should rise up against this ROT

  We are our own worse enemies. We put square pegs in round holes. We have a postmaster as energy minister and expect what? Black people don't think with our whole brain. People who are not qualified are put in sensitive positions and they can't perform. 57 years and we still can't generate power and water for 25 million people. We gotta be ashamed of ourselves. Is the blackman really capable of managing his own affairs as Kwame Nkrumah touted ? Absolutely NOT. Our leaders are corrupt, selfish and get away with stolen money with impunity and the laws are ignored by successive governments. You scratch my back and I scratch yours. A useless nation being governed by educated fools.

  The problem of ECG will never end unless towns, cities and the housing developments sit to re-plan. And this should be the prime responsibility of Town And country planning. Estate developer are having field day selling lands here and there, and making money from Ghanaians WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION effects of Electricity management, sanitation, and the environment. If we plan the cities and remodel arrears like osu, kaneshie nungua, Labadi,etc etc we will be leaving in apartments, like the Villagios and polo height. This is the direction we should be thinking of. Everyone wants to put up his or her own house on 100 x 100 plot to boast. No one is thinking of effects of search developments.
  Please lets re direct our developments.

  In the past, the ECG attributed "dumsor-dumsor" or erratic electricity power supply to low levels of rain water in the Akosombo Dam, illegal connections and lack of funding for increasing the generation capacity of electricity in Ghana.
  
  Now, the rainy season has brought us abundant supply of rainwater to power the turbines in the Akosombo Dam, the use of pay-as-you-consume electric meters making illegal connections almost impossible, generating capacity has been increased by virtue of the Kpone and Weija Dams among others.
  
  Why are these IMCOMPETENT FOOLS STILL HOOKED ON "DUMSOR-DUMSOR" in this 21st century Ghana when all the aforementioned are in place?
  
  These FOOLISH SO-CALLED LEADERS MUST BE MARCHED TO THE TESHIE MILITARY RANGE AND SHOT! KWASIAFUOR!

  Really?. Are these people serious?. How does any serious country attracts investments in this digital world and continue to struggle with power supply?. How many times are we going to be promised that load shedding is going to be a thing of the past?. Are they serious?. And how do we tolerate this as a people?. Tariffs have been revised with price hikes to avoid load shedding and yet we are still where we started. Will any CEO accept such a performance from a manager?. I do not expect any CEO to fire a manager at first bad major decision but a series of them?. This is when shareholders hold a CEO accountable.
  Mr. president, time to show leadership is long overdue. With your I decisions, with your frequent vacillations, someone is bound to conjure up Hamlet in reference to some of your appointees. Not to quibble, but is is Macbeth who comes to my mind- specifically his soliloquy that begins, "If it were done when !tis done, then 'twere we'll it were done quickly". This is your legacy Mr. president. It will never be about your appointees. Reach out ang get competent managers. Stop referring to critics as naysayers, and doomsayers. It childish not presidential. Politics does not fix any economy. Politics may convince some to call a goat a cow and dwarfs emptying the vaults of BoG etc.
