Power outages affecting Atua Gov’t Hospital morgue – Workers lament

According to them, the use of generators as an alternative is not sustainable.

Benjamin Angmor, a mortuary attendant, told Citi News the situation is taking a severe toll on their work.

At the time of Citi News’ visit, the hospital’s technicians had gone to town to buy diesel to power the plant.

All departments in the hospital, including the theatre, had no electricity when Citi News got to the health facility.

Meanwhile, some residents who spoke to Citi News in Somanya said “we’ve agreed to use the prepaid meters, but we would resist any attempt by ECG to force us to pay old debts”.

In a month, I pay about GH¢100, but previously, I used to pay ten times the current amount due to irregularities in meter reading,” Johnson Kyei Appiah, a fashion designer told Citi News.

According to them, the situation can be resolved if all stakeholders sit at the discussion table.
