Energy Minister Peter Amewu assures Ghanaians that "dumsor" is not back

The Energy Ministry is assuring that the country will no longer return to the long dark days of power outages as experienced under the John Mills/Mahama administration.

However, it says there will be some intermittent outages as a result of localised faults which the government will work to resolve.

Myjoyonline.com reports that in addressing a joint press conference with heads of ECG, VRA and GRIDCO on Monday, Energy Minister John Peter Amewu said the days of total darkness is over.

However, he admitted there may be some “dumsor” (on and off) in some areas which government is addressing.
