‘Dumsor’ Crisis Will Be Over Soon – Bawumia

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has assured that the ongoing erratic power supply, 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 issues with power 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 erratic power supply.

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.
