The Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has reassured the public of putting in place measures to fix the recent power supply disruption across the country.

Various areas have been experiencing interruptions in electricity supply in the past weeks, prompting citizens to express their dissatisfaction with the ECG.

This has triggered calls for a load-shedding timetable, but the Energy Minister has dismissed the request.

He says the demand for a load-shedding timetable is equivalent to wishing evil for the country.

“Let those who want the timetable bring it. I don’t know of any timetable because the ECG has said it is not necessary. Why would someone just wish evil for the country?” he asked.

According to Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the government is working towards power restoration.

“I have promised you that we are going to work on it and it’s not a single event. It’s a process,” he indicated.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh says although the recent power outages confronting the country has become a major challenge, it is better under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo than it was under John Mahama.

He wants citizens to exercise patience as the ECG works toward power restoration.Source: Nana Boakye Dankwah Yiadom
