When will dumsor end? - Here are 3 discordant deadlines from government

The ongoing power outages have been called dumsor by a large section of society even as the government insists that it is a challenge with an end in sight.

I can, therefore, state that the unfortunate power challenges Ghanaians are facing should be over in the next few days.

Gideon Boako, Economic Advisor and Spokesperson for the Vice President, said earlier this week that the power cuts across the nation will soon be over.

A former Chairman of Parliament’s Committee on Roads and Transport, Samuel Ayeh-Paye, had earlier disclosed that the intermittent power outages will end by May this year.

What has been happening is just some outages that we’re working on, and we want to assure them [Ghanaians] that by the end of next month [May], we’ll not see these things again.”.

Though the power distribution company - Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) - has attributed the intermittent power supply to technical challenges, some Ghanaians and institutions including the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) think otherwise

ECG’s management in reaction maintained that the power outages stem from technical difficulties and that no formal load-shedding schedule will be implemented
