I think my honesty was one of my major problems because I didn\u2019t think I should fool my people. Today every day you sleep and the lights go off and we know that they are shedding load. They have a problem with generation. Some generation assets are down. They have a problem with paying for gas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have a problem with paying for fuel so every day they are shedding between 280 and 480 megawatts of power but they will not give us a timetable and say you will be off today, this one will be off tomorrow because that is what Ghanaians know as dumsor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so we will just put off the light anytime and reduce the number of megawatts so the system won\u2019t go down. But we don\u2019t call it dumsor and so there is no dumsor but we know that it is dumsor,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has called on the government to acknowledge the existence of \u2018dumsor\u2019 (power outages) and release a well-defined load-shedding timetable.
