Professor Baffour Agyeman-Duah, a Governance expert, has called on President Nana Akufo-Addo to show a sense of leadership by calling on all the major stakeholders in the power sector and give them stringent orders to solve the power crisis facing the country currently.

According to Professor Baffour, the President has to exercise his leadership prowess by finding an immediate solution to the erratic power outages that has engulfed the country in recent times.

Speaking on Ghana Tonight on TV3, Prof. Baffour noted that, he will be utterly shocked if the president has not engaged the stakeholders already.

Ageyman Duah said, “I will be surprised that the president has not called the leadership of the VRA, GRIDCo, ECG, and PURC, to sit them down to give them the marching order that he doesn’t like what they are doing."

“That is leadership, we need the president to be giving the marching orders. As I said, if he has done it privately I don’t know but based on the public pronouncements by these state agencies in charge of the energy sector, it seems like he hasn’t done that.”

Speaking futher, Professor Agyeman-Duah expressed his greatest displeasure over the seeming snail pace with which the government is tackling the energy crisis.

Prof. Baffour believes that given the rate at which the power outages happens incessantly, the government should have addressed the issue with all seriousness.

He said “the government hasn’t been too active in seeking solutions to the problems.”

Prof. Baffour Agyeman-Duah called on the ECG to release a load-shedding timetable in order to help consumers plan their activities properly.

According to the governance Professor, the prudent thing the Electricity Company of Ghana ( ECG) has to do is to publish a load-shedding schedule which will enable business owners plan their itinerary.

“The wise thing to do is to issue a timetable,” Prof Baffour Agyeman-Duah lamented.
