John Jinapor, the Ranking Member of the Energy Committee of Parliament, has accused the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) of spreading misinformation regarding the recent surge in intermittent power outages, commonly known as dumsor.
While the ECG attributes these outages to overloaded and faulty transformers, Mr. Jinapor argues that the widespread load shedding is a result of financial issues, rather than technical glitches as claimed by the ECG.
“I can confidently but sadly confirm to you that the current load shedding is not technical, it is financial. It is due to mismanagement.”
I can confidently, but regrettably, confirm that the current load shedding is not technical; it is financial. It is due to mismanagement,” Mr. Jinapor said.
Mr. Jinapor further characterized the situation as a significant abuse of the cash waterfall mechanism and a mismanagement of funds, challenging the narrative put forth by the ECG.
“It is gross abuse of the cash water Fall Mechanism and mismanagement of the funds,” he stated.
