Speaking on Accra based Joy News, he said: "Dumsor has come and this one is because of the negligence of this government".

“If they are building new transmission lines, it has nothing to do with the existing transmission lines… so how does your building of a substations somewhere contribute to dumsor? It is after you have finished the new line or substation and you want to change over. And that will take you more than a week to do."

“So what is happening now is the breakdown of the existing systems when the new ones haven’t happened yet", he said.

However, in earlier engagements, the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh had denied that dumsor is back.
