Keep Calm; Ghana Currently Not Anywhere Near ‘Dumsor Age’ – GRIDCo Boss Insists
Ghanaians are increasingly being urged to heave themselves from any moment of unease following recent instances of intermittent power cuts being experienced in parts of the country.
This is on the back of the Chief Executive Officer of utility transmission firm; Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) – Jonathan Amoako-Baah’s latest and renewed rejection of power rationing claims in Ghana’s power space.
He primarily attributes the situation to a system upgrade and not a regular load-shedding exercise as many continue to misconstrue.
Speaking to Bernard Avle on Wednesday, Mr. Amoako-Baah once more allayed the rising fears of Ghanaians that the most dreaded power outage period mostly referred to as ‘dumsor’ is rearing its ugly heads again.
“What we are experiencing is not the ‘dumsor’ we know of. This is something that happens not often but intermittently sometimes in the sector for us to do some work. Sometimes, there is a fault that we need to attend to in order to bring the situation back to normal. Dumsor is not coming back. From my point of view, I have to say it as it is; devoid of politics. I have to assure people that what they are thinking is not what it is”, he reiterated.
Lately, Ghanaians have begun raising concerns over a possible come back of perennial blackout due to some nationwide cut in power supply.
On social media, in particular, there are a lot of conversations about the worrying trend with those suspecting a looming power crisis calling on authorities to publish a timetable if need be.
