Background
President John Mahama recently maintained that the country is not back to the protracted energy crisis, popularly known as ‘Dumsor’.
“We are not declaring load shedding; I believe things will normalize but we are taking steps everyday to ensure that Ghana has security when it comes to power," the president said.
But the NPP in a statement said government should stop the denial and “listen to the cry of the industries and Ghanaians, and stop the inexplicable denial and immediately publish a time table /schedule for the ongoing Dumsor.”
