Government has assured citizens that there is enough fuel to keep electricity running, despite recent power outages in some areas.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, February 20, Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, admitted that some parts of the country have experienced power cuts. However, he stressed that steps have been taken to ensure a steady supply of electricity.

He also mentioned that Energy Minister John Jinapor is actively monitoring the situation and will soon update the public on efforts to resolve the issue.

“I can say that the energy minister is aware of the situation and in the coming days he will engage the public. But the threats that we faced at the very onset of this government, which is related to the closure of the West Africa Gas Pipeline and the failure of the previous government to meet its obligation in providing fuel for thermal power generation were averted.

“The government has brought an adequate supply of fuel. But it is important from time to time to engage the public and address the concerns that they may have when it comes to the power situation,” he stated.
