The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, has issued a stern warning, indicating his readiness to organise a protest in the region against the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) due to the recent frequent power outages.

Communities across the country, particularly in the Ashanti Region, have expressed frustration over the persistent power cuts, describing them as intolerable.

During an interview on Kumasi-based Angel FM, Mr Osei Mensah demanded that ECG and GRIDCo provide him with a comprehensive explanation for the recent electricity disruptions within seven days.

“The word of caution I’m sounding to the ECG and GRIDCO is that, if I don’t get a satisfactory explanation after listening to the Ministry of Energy with the response, I will demonstrate against them”.

I will lead a demonstration in the region and at that time nobody should come and stop me," Mr Osei Mensah said.
