And so he made it clear in his statement that the load shedding that we are seeing is probably normal\u2026To say that the issues have been dealt with is misleading and we pray that the handlers of the president will rather lead him than mislead him. Sometimes the president looks awful in the eyes of industry players, the watchers and even consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am sure any pronouncement that he made is contingent on what they tell him but he must be very careful because the handlers are not putting out what the issues are. The value is the same. We\u2019ve just seen a bit of change last night but if the president says that yesterday we didn\u2019t experience dumsor anywhere around the country, that is untrue. I can recount some few places we have checked,\u201d he stated.<\/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>Nana Amoasi VII, Executive Director of the Institute of Energy Security (IES), has challenged President Akufo-Addo\u2019s assertion that the country\u2019s erratic power supply issue has been effectively resolved.
