ONLY NAPO CAN ORDER PUBLICATION OF ‘DUMSOR’ TIMETABLE – Osafo Maafo Reveals

“To publish the rationing of power, nobody can do it except the Minister of Energy because he is overseeing the generation and they [ECG] are looking at the utilization. So, they can look at it and say that in this particular area, this is how it should be done.

“But it is something which can be done because it is what you have and what you have to use and the spread it,” he stated on the sidelines of a forum on open government partnerships and construction sector transparency in Accra on Tuesday, April 23 monitored by ghanaweb.

Recently, the sector minister rejected public requests for a schedule for load shedding.

Ghana has struggled with inconsistent power supplies in recent months, which has worried businesses about how it may affect their operations.

But speaking to the media at an event by the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Opoku Prempeh dismissed the calls for a load-shedding schedule while also rubbishing comparisons of the current situation to that of the 2015-2016 era under the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama administration.

“Ask those who want it to bring it, if there is, I haven’t seen any timetable. When you say bring a timetable, what do you mean?

“The ECG says that there is no timetable so why are you asking for a timetable?” he stated.
