Ace broadcast journalist, Afia Pokuaa commonly known in the media circles as Vim Lady has said that the recent power outage in some parts of the country is making her experience sleepless nights.
According to the loud-mouth journalist, times are hard for her each time lights in her area go off due to ‘dumsor’.
Affirming that the sleepless night she is experiencing is gradually killing her as days go by.
Taking to social media, she wrote, “I can’t sleep these days, dumsor is killing me”.
Since the beginning of 2021, parts of the country have consistently been plunged into a state of darkness often without prior notice.
On social media, in particular, there has been a lot of conversation about the worrying trend with those suspecting a looming power crisis calling on authorities to publish a timetable if need be.
But, the power transmission company, the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has reiterated that the situation is not being caused by generation challenges but rather, ongoing maintenance and repair works on a number of its equipment and plants.
Ghana’s national power outages reached a crescendo between 2014 and 2015 during the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama era.
Fast-forward to 2021, the crisis seems to have reared its ugly head again, although the government and the various power agencies always shoot down such concerns.
