Ghanaians have over the past few weeks registered their displeasure over the intermittent power outages being experienced in the country also known in the local parlance as “Dumsor”
While some have described the phenomenon as a possible return to the intermittent power cuts experienced under the NDC regime in 2014, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Energy Ministry has said there is no dumsor..
Amidst the back and forth, some power consumers have called for a power rationing timetable to help them plan but the Energy Ministry insists there is no dumsor.
Energy Minister Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh has asserted that Ghana is not currently experiencing “dumsor” hence there was no need for a load-shedding timetable.
In this episode of #DumsorSeries, we bring you an open letter written by Ghanaian Relationship and Marriage Counsellor P G Sebastian.
Below is the full Letter:
Dear God,
You said you won’t abandon us even when our parents do. ECG is not our parent but yeah they have a way with this abandonment game. Walahi Talahi.
Not to complain or anything, (I mean who ARE MY to) but the heat tho… Feels like a Double Whammy. So we are asking, can we have rains tonight? I mean singles will sin and do booty calls and all the nasty sinful things. But we the married ones, Mantolobosh, Ndaboski, we will glorify you in the beauty of your holiness.
Can I get a witness, Michael.
I mean look at the brighter side, Dear Lord, tomorrow we remember our Big Bro and your beloved son and what he did for us. We don’t want to be mourning and be whoo whooing ourselves in a 33 degree Celsius weather. We can’t even cry well. And those of us who will manage to cry people will even say eehh it’s the sweat. Not real tears.
Forbid such a thing to be said about your people.
We want to cry well. And we want the tears to be evident.
