He noted that while the journalist pressed for a timetable, the Minister seemed to emphasize the need to focus on resolving the underlying issues causing the power outages.

He emphasized, “There are Ghanaians who may raise it for political purposes for example our brothers in NDC will raise it politically because they want to ensure that you bring a timetable so comparatively they can say that if we brought a timetable, you’ve also brought a timetable.

Furthermore, Tonto offered a critical analysis of terminologies used to describe the power crisis, particularly the term “Dumsor,” which gained prominence during the previous administration.

“The Dumsor came about because it was a prolonged challenge.
