Ghanaians need to understand why they sleep in darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MP for Tamale Central, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, also recounted a harrowing incident where a National Service Personnel was trapped in one of Parliament\u2019s lifts due to a power cut and demanded that Ghanaians be made aware of happenings in the power sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy issue has to do with the erratic power supply. Just two days ago, there was a National Service Personnel who was trapped in one of the lifts when the power went off. She was traumatized when she finally exited the lift and so are we able to quantify the psychological trauma that people go through as a result of this and so it is essential that the Minister for Energy responds to this House to explain to us so we can explain to our constituents what is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minority Members of Parliament have called on the leadership of the House to summon the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempreh, to provide an update on steps the government has taken to resolve the recent power cuts.
