In a recent statement, a Member of Parliament from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged the government to take decisive action to resolve the ongoing power supply issues in Ghana, commonly referred to as "dumsor." The MP criticized the frequent blame directed at the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), emphasizing that accountability lies with the government. He pointed out that citizens are growing increasingly frustrated with persistent outages that disrupt daily life and economic activities.
The MP's call for immediate solutions comes amid rising public discontent over unreliable electricity supply, which he believes undermines efforts toward national development. He stressed that instead of shifting responsibility onto ECG, officials should focus on addressing the root causes of these power challenges. The NPP representative's remarks highlight a growing sentiment among constituents who demand not just promises but tangible results in fixing Ghana’s energy crisis. As power reliability remains crucial for both homes and businesses, swift government intervention is essential for restoring public confidence and ensuring a stable power supply across the nation.
