A Ghanaian woman has been lamenting over the impact the persistent power cuts currently being experienced in the country, popularly known as dumsor, is having on her business.

The woman who sells iced kenkey said dumsor is killing her business.

During an interaction with Johnny Hughes, she indicated that she's gradually losing her capital since most of her products have been fermenting due to the situation.

Recounting a recent ordeal, she noted that she lost about 100 bottles of iced kenkey which belonged to a colleague as a result of the power cuts.

"They did not have light at their end. So she brought hers here so I can keep them in my fridge but then, the lights went off at my end too and all the bottles of Iced-Kenkey have gone bad," she said.

She indicated that the situation is badly affecting her as she can no longer fend for her child who has been ill for some time now.

She, thus, appealed to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to issue a load-shedding timetable to allow citizens to plan adequately and minimize the disruptions caused by the frequent power cuts.

"This is so sad. You could hear her frustration in her voice. She’s so pained and the thing is this: our leaders are so selfish and they’ll do nothing about this mess. They are not feeling this heat because they have plants in their homes and their workplaces. This is a young ordinary Ghanaian crying…..It’s imperative that all youths forget about Ghana for a while and focus on themselves on becoming better."
