Great policy analysis but as usual, there are no specific solutions. Where is the money going to come from to solve the problem? Who are the technicians who are going to do the work. Are the necessary equipments going to come in duty free??? Some many practical issues that people want to run away from.

If that becomes the target, then govt start setting the right priorities to achieve that. The writer identified the issue of poor distribution leading to millions of dollars. Use some of the chinese $3billion dollar loan and some of the revenue from oil to solve this and Ghana will be generating money towards achiieving this. Tackle corruption and waste in the system head-on and there will be money for such projects. It is a question of setting the policy direction and developing priorities along this direction. It will also include developing the needed human capacity for these projects through education and training. These are practical issues that can be implemented to solve the energy crisis and also build capacity for the future. We need to be proactive instead of the current reactive measures such as waiting until "Dum so" starts to happen and then build some capacity to address current situations. Being proactive is what happens in other countries in such a way that energy capacity is developed in anticipation of future demand. Our leaders must wake up.

GHANA IS NOW A HOPELESS STATE BECOS GHANAIANS ALLOWED AN ASANTE CRIMINAL TO RULE AS PRESIDENT. HE CLAIMED HE HAD AN ENERGY EXPERT TO REGULARISE THE ENERGY SECTOR, BUT LO AND BEHOLD THEY RATHER CONNIVED TO LOOT THE ENERGY SECTOR. MEANWHILE OUR DEMAND HAD OUTGROWN SUPPLY. ALL THAT BROBBY DID WAS TO SEARCH MICROSCOPICALLY FOR AREAS IN VRA WHERE KUFFOUR AND HIS BUSH BOYS COULD DIG AND LOOT OUR MINES.

Stop the tribalism nonsense and go to work. Primitive and backward lazy Ghanaians should be
ruled by the British again.
We just can’t do it period.

I was also wondering where the solutions are to be found? So he is of the view that current efforts are piecemeal? What is the comprehensive approach Mr. Expert?

EITHER WE KNOW OR WE DO NOT KNOW.

THE NATION IS CURRENTLY FACING DOMESTIC ENERGY SUPPLY, AND THIS gentleman GETS UP TO LECTURE GHANAIANS ABOUT THE USE OF POWER FOR INDUSTRIALIZATION

WHY DO WE KEEP ON WRITING BLINDLY ON THEORIES OF ENERGY.

THE SO CALLED ''EDUCATED' CONTINUE TO UBDERDEVELÓP THE NATION

WE DO STILL HAVE MANY HUGE MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB IN THE COUNTRY.
