Dumsor crisis will be over soon

The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has assured that the ongoing power supply crisis, commonly referred to as ‘dumsor’, will soon be resolved.

Speaking to the Clergy and Imams in Akropong on Monday, April 29, during his campaign tour of the Eastern Region, Dr. Bawumia expressed confidence in the government’s efforts to tackle the issue.

“I know there are challenges and I don’t want to paper over economic challenges. We are going to work on them. Currently, we have power issues but I say that from the information I have received from the minister for energy, those power challenges will very soon, and I mean very soon be a thing of the past,” the vice president said.

The state power distributor, Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has come under criticism from businesses, groups and individuals, for the recent dumsor crisis.

The Ghana Union of Traders Association is the latest group to call on the ECG for a load-shedding timetable that will guide their operations.

The state power distributor has maintained that the current challenge does not require a load-shedding timetable.
