Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has moved to allay concerns among Ghanaians regarding the recurrence of power outages reminiscent of the Dumsor era.

Numerous complaints, particularly on social media platforms, have surfaced regarding the irregular power supply experienced across the country.

Many citizens perceive this as a return to the Dumsor era, a period marked by frequent power cuts during John Dramani Mahama's administration.

However, the government is hesitant to acknowledge this situation fully, fearing potential implications for their electoral prospects.

Addressing attendees at the Africa Energy Technology Conference, Dr. Opoku Prempeh outlined that Ghana has transitioned from the Dumsor era to what he terms "Dum Sie Sie."

This new phase involves scheduled power outages for routine maintenance and repairs, rather than prolonged periods of unpredictability in power supply.

“When it comes to electricity we’ve been challenged for some time. Before His Excellency got into office, we faced a challenge where we literally got three days off and one day on…We’ve moved from Dumsor, we are in a situation called “Dum Sie Sie”.
