Even though some government officials dispute the existence of “dumsor,” Kofi Kinaata is speaking out against Ghana’s present unstable electricity supply.
In light of his difficulties with the unstable power supply, Kinaata disclosed that his company’s activities have been severely disrupted by the escalating power outages.
He explained how his staff, stationed at his home, routinely contacts him every fifteen minutes to report on the disturbances brought on by the regular power outages, which are referred to as “dumsor” in the area.
In an interview with 3FM, Kinaata conveyed her grave concerns on the terrible situation of the nation’s electrical supply and demanded swift action to resolve the problem.
In the course of the conversation, Giovanni Caleb, the host, inquired about Kinaata’s personal encounter with “dumsor,” implying that he appeared unaffected by it.
With a smile, Kinaata replied that he does, in fact, experience the difficulties personally because he is currently without power in his own home. He underlined how annoying it is to be interrupted when doing something like watching television and then have the lights abruptly go out.
“I am experiencing it [the power outage] a lot; as I speak now, there is no light at home. Some people who work in the house call me every fifteen (15) minutes to complain about the power outage. That is the reality. It’s not good. When you are watching television and the lights go off, it’s someway,” he said.
There has been a recent upsurge in grievances from a variety of sources, including National Democratic Congress (NDC) members, about the erratic power supply in some places.
On the other hand, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo claimed that his administration had successfully avoided “dumsor” for seven years since taking office during the State of the Nation Address on February 27, 2024. Some dissident public voices sharply criticized this allegation.
There is still ambiguity about the state of the electricity issue because the public has encouraged the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to establish a load-shedding schedule.
