Ghana’s Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has arrived in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital, to assess the persistent power outages frustrating residents and businesses in the region.
Many residents have been wondering why the power situation has worsened recently.
Regional Minister Dr. Frank Amoakohene, also concerned about the situation, expressed his worries on Facebook.
He stated that he’s been inundated with calls from residents urging him to intervene and help resolve the power crisis.
“For some months now, we’ve been experiencing power outages. While some blame it on sabotage, others cite various reasons. Sunday, March 16, was particularly severe, with widespread outages across districts and municipalities, prompting numerous complaints from communities,” Dr. Amoakohene said.
During his visit, Minister Jinapor is expected to inspect ongoing power infrastructure projects in the Ashanti Region and engage stakeholders.
