The Paramount Chief of the Asantes, Otumfour Osei Tutu II has bemoaned that the current power outages in Kumasi have ruined all his electrical appliances.
Addressing the Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh on Wednesday, December 1 when he visited him at the Manhia place, the Asantehene said the economic prosperity of every nation lies on energy.
“It is my prayer that you will work to address this matter because if the country will develop it will depend on the energy. The frequent power outages have destroyed all my appliances,” he said.
In response, the Minister explained that a fallen telecommunication mast had destroyed two towers owned by Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) hence the power outages.
“We are working assiduously on the GRIDCo lines that have fallen. We cannot lie to you, we are asking you to support us with your prayer and love, I have nowhere to go, I won’t sit idle for power in Kumasi to be toyed with. We have just encountered difficulty, but soon, it will all be resolved," the Minister assured.
