On the backdrop of this have many requested that the power provider furnishes Ghanaians with what is notably known as ‘Dumsor’ timetable for citizens to plan their lives like was done in the time of Former President John Mahama but these calls for a timetable have yielded no results.
In similar reports, the Energy Minister when asked responded in what many describe as disrespectful when he mentioned that anybody that wants a timetable should go bring their own timetable. His remarks sparked anger among the populace and business owners alike.
