His comments follow his apology to Ghanaians over the recent power cuts which have been blamed on a tie-in of the country’s gas infrastructure in the Western Region. Many have demanded a load shedding timetable to enable people in the affected areas to plan their domestic and business activities. For instance, I am told in the Ashanti Region most of these areas have already been informed prior to the shutdown. While answering a question on the erratic power supply at a Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday, Mr. Amewu assured the citizenry of relief soon saying the power situation will be normalized within the shortest possible period.
