“I have made an assessment to know when I have light at home and when there is a power outage. Today, barring any unforseen circumstances I know would have light. Tomorrow, which is Tuesday, the lights would be off.

"When it is taken in the evening at 6pm where I live, the light would be restored around 12am. On Wednesday, I expect to get light. On Thursday, when it goes off at 6pm, I expect it to come back at 6am the next day. On Friday, I expect to have light. On Saturday, the power cuts are also intense,” he said.

This disclosure by Kwame Tanko comes at a time when the Energy Minister, John Jinapor, has said that a planned load shedding timetable would not be released by the ECG.

At the time of writing the report, the video had generated a lot of reactions.
