The Minority in parliament through its spokesperson on Energy, Mr Adam Mutawakilu, has asked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to officially declare a state of erratic power supply (Dumsor) to enable Ghanaians to plan their lives properly and not be taken by surprise in the wake of the recent power supply challenges in parts of Ghana.
On Tuesday, 12 March 2019, parts of the country, including western and central Accra, as well as the northern part of Ghana, experienced a widespread power outage.
Although the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) apologised for it and assured the public that it will continue to work with all the power stakeholders to provide adequate supply to customers, the situation worsened on Wednesday, 13 March 2019.
Although the government has attributed the blackout to technical challenges, the Minority insists the problem is a result of financial challenges in the power sector.
Speaking to journalists on Thursday, 14 March 2019, Mr Mutawakilu said: “We don’t have money, we have a generation shortfall and, as a result, GRIDCo had to shed load and that is what is affecting us. And since November, we’ve consistently had load shedding but it’s not widespread as it happened the day before yesterday and yesterday; and, as we speak, many other areas are still experiencing it.
“There is a huge shortfall of over 1,000 megawatts and that is where we are. And I want President Nana Akufo-Addo to officially declare dumsor and come out with a load shedding timetable so that Ghanaians who want to store food or protect their gadgets can do that because this is causing a lot of havoc to gadgets. Businesses have been shut down all of a sudden and he must do the honourable thing by officially declaring that we have dumsor”.

oh NDC when will you folks get out from incompetence. you are so so incompentent that even your requests depict incompetence. when outage is as a result of relocation of lines why must dumsor be declared. you're too quick to find faults to match your incompetence that it rather exposes your high level of incompetence. HEN'S BRAIN FOLKS!!!!
Do we need to declare Dumsor. NDC is not serious at all. The Dumsor was banished immediately NPP took over. Its gone forever. The difference between the two is clear. NDC came to destroy every facet of the country. They do not have a single antidote to the problems associated with developing countries. Very big sha-m-e-f-u-l-l of them. they shout shut upppppp.
No. you ***barred word*** s should declare the dumsor. Your NDC KAKISTOCRACY government did worse in terms of electricity supplies.You are acting like zombies, shame on you all. Teletubies.
Did President Mahama ever declare Dumsor. He who comes to Equity must come with Clean Hands. DISPLAY YOUR DECLARATION FOR US TO SEE FIRST
Where is dumso must stop lady, I think it would be appropriate organize dumso must cease. Now that your party is in power. The president should declare state of dumso because ghanaians are rewarding him with his own comment. do the president believe in cheap political talk or simply an incompetent man who cannot figure our how to strategize and resolve issues. No wonder family properties were sold
we have lost our conscience because of politics. 2 days of power outages and president should declare a state of dumsor. Are we shedding load? The facts that you are in opposition doesnt mean you should we doom for the country. Opposition has now become doom wisher
Prophets of DOOM! They want 'yenyinaa abro pe'. That will NEVER happen under Nana Adoo. Ghana is moving forward without WICKED & EVIL NDC!
