Deputy Energy Minister-designate Richard Gyan-Mensah has dismissed claims that Ghana is experiencing a resurgence of "dumsor", the term for the country's past chronic power outages.

Speaking before Parliament's Appointments Committee on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, Gyan-Mensah assured Ghanaians that recent power fluctuations do not amount to a full-blown energy crisis. "I want to assure my brother that 'dumsor' is not back.

We all experienced the period of dumsor, and we know what we went through in terms of even the time when the light goes off.

There were schedules and all those things," he stated.
