Ghanaian actor and singer Frank Naro has further highlighted the ongoing issue of frequent power outages in Ghana, which is causing much inconvenience to the citizens.
In a recent interview with Amansan Krakye on Property FM, the Kumawood star revealed that he had to spend a night in his car due to a power outage, commonly known as dumsor.
He said the situation had become so frustrating for him that he even contemplated ending the phone call during the interview.
Here’s what he said,
Don’t make me angry for me to end the phone call for this interview so I don’t want to be annoyed because as we’re talking on the phone I’m even sleeping.
Since last night I have not been able to sleep because of dumsor and also due to the rounds I’m doing and the interviews that I’m granting currently about my new song.
Frank Naro added “The whole day I didn’t sleep and yesterday I slept in my car because when I got home there was no light and the heat was too much.
Dumsor will not return- Akufo-Addo assures Ghanaians
Meanwhile, during his address on May Day, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo declared that the dumsor challenge had been successfully tackled.
He assured the attendees that the power supply problems, caused by issues with transformers and gas supply, are now a thing of the past.
“I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Ghanaians for their patience and understanding during the recent temporary challenges with electricity supply across the country,” stated President Akufo-Addo.
“Over the period, the issues surrounding transformers and gas supply have been successfully resolved resulting in sufficient improvement in power supply reliability”.
President Akufo-Addo emphasized the strides taken in the last seven years to guarantee a dependable electricity provision, expressing optimism that the era of dumsor is now a thing of the past for the country and will not resurface.
“Indeed, over the past few days, we have witnessed stable electricity supply across the country with no load-shedding reported anywhere yesterday.”
“For the past seven years we have worked tirelessly to keep the lights on and I am confident that the unfortunate era of dumsor will not return,” he added.
