Dr. Gideon Boako who is the spokesperson for Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to urgently address the ongoing power outages in the country.
Speaking on Peace FM he emphasised the critical importance of reliable electricity supply in the 21st century.
Dr. Boako expressed deep concern over the persistent power cuts, locally known as “dumsor,” highlighting the significant impact they have on the daily lives of Ghanaians.
He stressed that in today’s modern society, virtually everyone relies on electricity for various essential activities, and any interruption in power supply poses serious challenges.
The economic advisor underscored the importance of uninterrupted electricity for businesses, households, and essential services, urging the ECG to take immediate action to restore stable power supply across the nation.
“Let there be light, there must be light, it’s very worrying, in this 21st century virtually everyone depends on light. If the light is taken for a second it becomes a problem. Not everyone can resort to a generator,” he stated.
He called on the ECG to prioritize addressing the root causes of the power challenges and implementing effective solutions to prevent future disruptions.
Dr. Boako also urged the company to enhance transparency and communication with the public regarding the status of power supply and any planned maintenance activities.
