Power situation has improved massively – Kwadwo Poku

Energy Expert and a member of the manifesto drafting committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Poku, has observed that the power situation in the country has improved massively.

He noted that a few areas of the Greater Accra region are experiencing power cuts due to localized problems.

“There are localized problems,” he reminded Ghanaians while speaking on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, April 20.

He added “the power situation has improved, two days ago there was a power trip in Tema, and when these things happen they create a few pockets of problems but it has improved massively.”

Mr Kwadwo earlier assured that the power cuts being experienced by Ghanaians in most parts of the country would be over before the month of April.

He says the managers of the power sector know what the problem is and are resolving it.

He indicated that the issue has to do with maintenance work being undertaken by the Electricity Company of Ghana and also the West Africa Gas Pipe Line Company (WAPCo) which reduced the flow of gas to Ghana.

Speaking on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday March 16, the one-time flagbearer hopeful of the NPP said “We apologize for the inconvenience, but as last night the president and his team were at Peduase crossing the Ts to ensure we are back to normal.”

He added “The challenge I have is to say there is dumsor.

The scenario we have now is being fixed and it will be fixed within two weeks, we are on top of the issue, and we are going to fix the problem.”

He further stated that “We will not enter the month of April with this problem, we know what the problems are, it is not a situation that is helpless.”
