The Minority in Parliament has raised concerns over the resurgence of load shedding, popularly known as ‘dumsor,’ blaming it on dubious contracts signed by the government through the Ghana Gas Company. The caucus alleges that there is pressure on the Ghana Gas Company from the Presidency to sign an $800 million contract with the Phoenix Park Gas Processors Consortium under questionable circumstances, without parliamentary approval.
The Minority caucus reveals that a power deficit of over 500 megawatts was recorded on Tuesday, September 24, negatively impacting customers. Ranking Member on the Energy Committee of Parliament, John Jinapor, raised the concern in an interaction with journalists.
