Use your brains for once man. Even armed robbers are tired of stealing in darkness, how much more law abiding citizens. You talk as if the transformers were located at NDC residences, so that when it was blown out, only they could suffer. What will be the benefit in blowing out those transmitters?

This is a sabotage. Why Kumasi alone? The NPP killers have now turned to our transformers. They should rather go and burn their palace.Evil to those that think evil.

These are the people seeking to continue ruling Ghana when they cannot even offer any objective thinking and analysis. There is no data available to make that presumption yet they have to draw conclusions in abeyance to divide the country. There are more issues in Kumasi because it is a much bigger place than your imagination can accept and I have always told you to get more education and stop following blindly but nothing enters that coconut head. God is available to anyone who wants to contact Him, do you know that?

Political point for who? NPP doesn't need to blow out transmitters in its strong hold to win points. The points are already theirs. They would have had to blow it in Ho to achieve that not in Kumasi. Don't be silly Pilolo

Oh..... Kumasi, indiscipline and terrorism has taken over the garden city, Infact I can smell a big elephant in this. Akufo Addo to be a president in Ghana will be a disaster in the history of Ghana, he is organizing all kinds of strategy to sabotage the Government for his interest, If you can remember the early years of President Mills when they burnt down the foreign ministry to cover his misdeeds when he was the minister in Kuffour regime. God will definitely expose him one day.

My brother it seems you do not know the Ashantis very well. They only like you when they know they can use you for their own personal gains. They hate all other tribes. They are pretenders. Left to them alone, the sea at the coast should moved to Kumasi. Nana Addo is only wasting his time. The Ashantis don't like him.

If you don't want your mother to sleep, you too will not sleep! Akuffo Addo said he will make Ghana ungovernable and he did just that with demonstrations, strikes and gallivanting the world condemning his own countries leadership. Now dumsor was a major campaign issue that has now come to pass so sabotage will be the next thing to make the government unpopular. God has seen you!!

If this is not one of the wicked agenda of the ruling government against the people in Kumasi and indeed a sabotage, those CRIMINALS behind this wicked act must be brought to book as a matter of urgency. There was no DUMSOR when the ndc came to power in 2009. Because of the thievery of John Mahama' create, loot and share governance, people have died,jobs have been lost all because of this UNPRECEDENTED DUMSOR . How can one takes credit for solving problems he has created that has led to the lost of lives and jobs. Thieves. Shine your eyes Ghanaians.

By their fruit you shall know them. Where in the article was it mentioned that the explosion or fault was caused intentionally, all these stupid people commenting here and insulting the people from Ashanti are no other than idiotic NDC cohorts who keep on changing their names and saying the same stupid things on this platform. such tribalism being displayed on here and hatred towards Ashanti people is beyond my undertanding, indeed empty barrels make the most noise. Anyone who spoke here spewing insults and hatred at the people of Ashanti when there's no proof of such sabotage should be ashamed of themselves, at the end of the day no Ashanti needs their approval for anything, they could stay in their perfect regions and we will stay in ours, shame on you, can't believe such tribalism exists till this day all because of political points. Shameful beings!!!
