Businesses are being forced to close due to the current power cuts and the global pandemic already paralyzing the economy.

GRIDCo has come out several times to explain the current challenges noting that they are hit sending back the country to the old days of erratic power cuts which are popularly known as Dumsor.

Well, Dr. Kwabena Donkor commenting on Citi TV’s ‘The Big Issue’ called for a shift from populist policies in the power sector to the implementation of sustainable plans for the sector.

He added “If the GRIDCo CEO says money is not an issue then he is being economical with the truth unfortunately as a country we are continuously driven by populism aligned to electoral cycles rather than looking at things in sustainable national interests”
