Dumsor: Current power outages purely due to mismanagement – Minority

The Minority Caucus in Parliament says the privatisation of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is not the panacea to addressing the intermittent power outages in the country.

According to the Caucus, the recent spate of power outages stems from the government’s substantial debts owed to Independent Power Producers.

It is because the government has mismanaged its responsibility toward the power agencies.

“The government is failing to pay the private sector that is providing the light because the source of power is private sector-driven.

The Independent Power Producers, government is unable to pay them their debts!

The challenge is the irresponsibility of the government and the poor management of the governance system of power supply and power generation
