WHAT IS THE PROBLEM, ECG? My meat is spoilt in the refrigerator! Most of my electrical appliances are spoilt! Thanks to Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). Most people lament on these. All their cry boils down to the fact that there is constant power failure or ‘on and off’ low schedule from ECG. At first, you would know when your area might go off and when the lights would be back, but now, you can hardly predict. Power goes off virtually everyday and one can hardly predict when it would be back. Recently, Dansoman, where I live, our lights went off from 6pm and the lights came around 10am the following day. Most phones were left uncharged, dressers not ironed and most gadgets were faulty due to the numerous power failure. What at all is the problem that cannot be rectified? For how long are we going to experience this? Is there a problem at the dam? There are basically a lot of questions that has been left unanswered. At least there should be a programme or forum to enlighten us on the exact problem and the measures being taken and if possible inform us the time and date electricity would be on and off to avoid any surprises and causes of damages. Most businesses like hairdressing, cafĂ© operating and companies that lack generator are collapsing and most cannot operate. They rather rely on ECG for power. In a case where power would be off almost the whole day, that means such business cannot operate. It is my greatest wish that drastic measures would be taken. Josephine Araba Aidoo GIJ
