Amoakohene Meets Ministry Of Energy To Address Recent Power Outages In Ashanti Region

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, took to his official Facebook page on November 2, 2026, to announce a meeting with energy sector leaders over the power situation in the region.

In a short post published on the social media platform, the Minister stated plainly: “I shall meet the energy sector leaders this morning over the power situation in the Region. Which area are you at and what’s the problem?”

The post signals the Minister’s readiness to confront the challenges that residents have faced with electricity supply across parts of the Ashanti Region. By scheduling the engagement for the morning of his announcement, Dr. Amoakohene demonstrated a sense of urgency in responding to public concerns.

Notably, the Minister did not limit himself to announcing the meeting. He invited residents to take part by asking them to state their locations and describe the specific problems they are experiencing. This approach allows him to carry first-hand, community-level information into the discussion with energy sector stakeholders, rather than relying only on official reports.

The move reflects a citizen-centred style of governance, where feedback from the public directly shapes engagements between government officials and service providers. Reliable electricity is vital to households, small businesses, schools, hospitals and industries across the region, and prolonged outages can disrupt livelihoods and economic activity.

Residents are expected to respond to the Minister’s call by sharing their experiences on the post, which could help pinpoint affected communities and the nature of the faults, whether linked to infrastructure, load management or maintenance.

While the post did not give details on the specific causes of the outages or the officials expected at the meeting, it makes clear that the Minister intends to seek answers and solutions from those responsible for power delivery.

Stakeholders and the public will be watching closely for the outcome of the engagement and any measures announced to restore stable electricity supply to affected areas in the Ashanti Region.
