Acknowledging the recent inconveniences caused by power outages, Adomako-Mensah underscored the government's dedication to rectifying the situation promptly. He expressed understanding of the concerns raised by the public, particularly the recent press conference held by the Minority regarding the two-week power disruptions.
“I admit that for the past two or three weeks, there have been some power outages, but it is interesting that the two-week power outages are causing the Minority to have a press conference. I am yet to fully settle into the [Energy] Ministry, but the little interaction that I have had with the officers in the Ministry before my vetting is that this should be taken care of in the next two weeks.”
