'Dumsor': People are fed up - Former Attorney-General to government

Former Attorney-General, Betty Mould-Iddrisu, has said Ghanaians are fed up with the intermittent power supply in recent times.

According to her, inasmuch as Ghanaians experienced 'dumsor' in 2015, the situation is unbearable under the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the power distribution company has also refused to release a load-shedding timetable.

Betty Mould-Iddrisu further said despite the renaming of the Ameri plant in Kumasi, the power crisis now remains incomparable.

"After the renaming of this Ameri plant, the dumsor that we have experienced is unparalleled. Even during our time [NDC], it was not like that and people are really now fed up," the former Attorney-General said on TV3's Hot Issues programme monitored by GhanaWeb.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, commissioned the first phase of the Anwomaso 1 Thermal Power Plant in Kumasi.

The Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant (K1TPP) is the decommissioned Ameri Power Plant which had been relocated to Kumasi to provide stable power to the middle and northern belt of the country.

The plant has a capacity of 150 megawatts (MW).

President Akufo-Addo said the commissioning of the plant was a demonstration of the government’s quest to provide sustainable electricity for the nation.
