You think it's as easy as allowing individuals to import Charlie wote. Government has all the resources to explore other sources of energy and expand the existing, if feasible. In a small town along the Lake Huron, the water from the lake is actually recycled back to the turbines. We sit down in Ghana enjoying what was built 50 years ago for a population of 6 million and whining about low levels of Akosombo. We even take the trouble to publish the water level each day just so we can find excuses for our laziness and stupidity. What do these idiots do at the Ministry of Energy? What's their role? Erecting poles for nonexistent electricity on the orders of the government, just for the purpose of wining a few more votes in the next election.

ECG needs to sit down to analyze the root causes of its failure .We shout privatize. Sure .But why do we have dumsor in Nigeria after NEPA was privatized? We need to learn from others

Ghana is currently faced with erratic power cuts for the past three years resulting in jobs losses and the folding up of businesses, as calls for a holistic approach from policy makers increase. Ghana’s energy sources has mostly come from hydro, but exploring other areas like solar, coal, tidal wave among others, Jantuah suggested will help reduce the burden on the national grid.

Speaking at the just ended Ghana Economic Forum (GEF), Mr. Jantuah observed that: “It will be a good thing for Ghana to start looking at solar now”

The decision to release the ECG for concession is a component of a compact initiative between Government and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) of United States of America, with an objective of ensuring adequate and reliable power supply to both households and industries.

UNQUOTE SAMAOH BAAH.

WHAT AT ALL IS WRONG WITH GHANA'S LEADERS?

CONVERSELY, CAN GHANA GOVERNMENT EVER TELL THE US GOVERNMENT WHAT TO DO WITH ITS ENERGY SECTOR?

IS GHANA STILL AN INDEPENDENT SOVEREINTY?

DID CREECE LEADERS ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE "PUSHED AROUND" BECAUSE THE ITS LOAN REPAYMENT OBLIGATIONS?

WHAT AT ALL IS WRONG WITH GHANA LEADERS?

COULD IT BE A CASE OF INFERIORITY COMPLEX AT THE NEGOTIATION TABLE WITH FOREIGNERS REGARDING OUR INTERNAL AFFAIRS?

coefficient, they are telling us what to do because we are having trouble running the supply system by ourselves. Am sure they will be glad to leave us alone to become a failed state.

Almost everyone I know in Ghana steals part of their power supplies. When you get something for free you don't conserve. The issue of power thievery is the root cause of power issues in third world country. Where does the money come to buy gas to run generators if people don't pay for the power. The problem is I don't know how that can be solved if homeowners electricians and ECG workers are all working together to steal.

Even northern part of Ghana has experienced flood, but we have not heard anything about Volta Lake being flooded.
