Apaak questions govt’s refusal to give Ghanaians ‘dumsor’ timetable

The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaah questioned why the Akufo-Addo administration has refused to give the Ghanaian people time table on the current power crisis also known as ‘dumsor’.

In a brief statement, the lawmaker stated that the government cannot deny that there is a power crisis in the country and do the needful for citizens to plan their lives.

“GIVE US A DUMSOR TIMETABLE: The shameless attempt to deny the presence of the current self-evident DUMSOR is a very idiotic strategy by this failed Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP gov’t.

“Is Dumsor (Akan pronunciation: [dum sɔ] ‘off and on’) not defined as a persistent, irregular, and unpredictable electric power outage? Is this not what Ghanaians are experiencing? How can the ECG and government officials tell Ghanaians there is no DUMSOR when Ghanaians live and feel it?” Dr. Apaak quizzed.

He also lauded the Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) for exposing the Electricity Company of Ghana.

“Rather than do the needful by giving us a load management timetable so that Ghanaians can plan, ECG has resorted to barefaced lies in an infantile attempt to cover up. The PURC must be highly commended for boldly exposing this prevaricating government and its appointees on the ECG board.

“This disregard for Ghanaians and the laws of the land are additional reasons why Ghanaians must vote out the NPP in the national polls later this year. #DumsorMustStop,” he stated.
