When the air-conditioning system was replaced, they put in lower capacity air conditioners. So it\u2019s not like it\u2019s not functioning \u2013 it works. On Saturday it was working,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whose responsibility it was to fix the air-conditioners, Amy said \u201cwe need to do it.\u201d She added that they were working on the situation even though it is not a situation that can easily be fixed.<\/p>\n<p>Amy was however unable to give any timeline as to when these faulty air conditioners would be restored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t tell you when they will be restored because we started a process last year, gone through a procurement process by doing an energy audit of all the electrical gadgets but it is not a problem that is fixed easily. We are on it and we hope to get it repaired or replenished,\u201d she told Citi Showbiz.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of the air conditioners got re-ignited when some patrons who attended Becca\u2019s 10th anniversary concert on Saturday, 21st October, 2017, took to social media to vent their anger at the theatre authorities for the heat in the auditorium.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HRoecEMGqss\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>About the National Theatre<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The National Theatre, opened in 1992 was built by the Chinese and offered as a gift to Ghana.
