Dumsor will tarnish the image of nuclear power plants if it is not resolved – Opanyin Agyekum (WATCH) | Policy

Dean of the Performing Arts School of the University of Ghana, Professor Kofi Agyekum, better known as Opanyin Agyekum, asks the government to publicize the real cause of recent failures current.

Some parts of the country experienced continuous power outages, reinforcing the perception that "Dumsor is back".

However, Deputy Energy Minister Energy, Mr. William Owuraku Aidoo, says the recent blackout is due to the complete closure of the gas treatment plant. Atuabo in the region of the West.

Some communicators of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the opposition, claim that the recent "dumsor" is due to lack of funds; another claim that the government has challenged.

Opanyin Agyekum, intervening in Tuesday's edition of "Kokrokoo", asked the government to tell the truth to the Ghanaians.

According to him, if they are not able to solve power failures, their image will be altered.

"What matters is the truth … they should tell us the truth, if the authorities had told us the truth from the beginning, we would not have reached this level, but we will wait for the 12th day to see if they will do it, be honest with their word, those who complain are justified … we do not want to go back, " he said.

In response, Eugene Boakye Antwi, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing and Deputy of the Subin constituency in the Ashanti region, badured Ghanaians that the problem of electricity would be resolved.

"We have no choice but to fix it … we can not afford to let this country sink" he said.
