Revealed: This is the only way ‘DUMSOR’ can end in Ghana.
The current common power outages in the country is much talked about by the citizenry. There have really not being a substantive reason for the situation left alone how it could be solved.
Stay with me through this article as I unpolitically reveal some potential reasons to end the current nightmare of the Ghanaian citizens with regards to the current power fluctuations.
Before we dealt into the main discussions, one thing is obviously clear that nothing just happens. Everything happens for a reason whether knowingly or otherwise and before that which has happened, if a problem, could be solved, the source or cause of that problem must be known.
Now with regards to the current situation before the entire citizenry of the Ghanaian populate, the first step that the sectors involved should have done was to open up to the citizens on what the cause of the power fluctuations were. This alone would have contributed in some way in the process of solving the problem.
Meanwhile the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) are rather demanding for an increment in tariffs without emphatically giving out the main cause of the problem to the citizenry.
That notwithstanding, the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, came close by attributing the current intermittent fluctuations to some exercise being done in upgrading some systems at the Pokuase and Kasoa suburbs.
Despite all these, one can attribute the cause to the ‘Free light and water’ offer that was given by the President Akufo-Addo some months back. We can not ague much with this reason since we really don’t have any other substantive reason to debate it with.
THE CITIZENRY
On the other hand the Ghanaian citizenry could be the cause. There was a time that the ECG told that users of electricity should off certain gadget in the night while sleeping. Fridge, television, radios among others, but I personally had almost all the residents in my locality not complying. Their reason was fascinating though as they believe that the bill will not reflect whether or not they switch off those gadgets.
In agreement to that, could it be that there is some sort of cheat in the calculation of the billing? I certainly agree to some point. This is because there have being many situations where we paid a fixed price even if there were reductions in the use of the power supply.
The cause can also be strongly relate to the population growth and the introduction of more technological gadgets that uses more electricity power in their functioning. As more people build houses and transmit electricity, the burden on the power supply increase thereby putting pressure on the power supply which may contribute to power outages if a system is not developed to balance the situation.
WHO COULD END ‘DUMSOR’
Sincerely speaking, no President can end the current intermittent power fluctuations. I solely believe that this is a collective work between the government and the people. Meanwhile the greater work is on the side of the people.
On this note let us desist from blaming one government after the other and do the needful even as the government is doing it part.
If you have ever thought of voting against ‘DUMSOR’ in the 2024 election then you are literally saying you want to vote against any mindset in you that contributes to the cause of the problem.
I don’t believe it will ever be the joy of the President to see the country in such power mess. Politics aside and let us face the truth, we are the cause of our own plague.

According to residents they actually do not know the cause of the fire. Meanwhile as they saw the block has caught fire they began do pour water after they had made a call to the fire service. Within some few minutes Firemen were seen making frantic efforts to douse the flames.

Meet Sabronum-Nyamebekyere D/A Primary: The entire school with only one teacher.
Ghana has a rich culture which is shaped to perfect by the introduction of formal education. Currently the country has one of the best if not the best of all educational curriculum in the whole of Africa and could even secure acomodation on the international billboard.
Meanwhile there are some few challenges encountered by the country’s educational system —some which could be attributed to inadequate teachers, inadequate teaching resources, inadequate classroom blocks among others.
A situation on the grounds now has to do with Sabronum-Nyamebekyere D/A Primary school, where only one teacher is covering all classes at the moment. Meanwhile there is inadequate classroom block and this caught the attention of the community members to put up a mud structure which is currently in a dilapidated state.
The only teacher currently present at the school is Adelaide Benewaa Adusei. Once she is attending to a particular class, all other classes would have to wait until the period is over. The only time she has to rest is when it is break time.
ESTABLISHMENT
The school, Sabronum-Nyamebekyere D/A Primary was set up by Mad. Adelaide Benewaa Adusei, the only teacher present. According to her she had to set up the school due to the long distance the wards had to walk before attending school at other communities.
“I decided to set up the school after I saw the difficulty the students were going through before getting to school in other areas”.
POSTING
She was posted by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to a school in a different community but closer to Sabronum-Nyamebekyere, where she stayed. She started the school as a private institutions.
Meanwhile the government intervened in 2019 and the school had to become a public institution. But there hasn’t being any posted facilitator to supplement her in the teaching and learning process ever since the the government took possession.
CLASSES
Since the GES reposted her to Sabronum-Nyamebekyere D/A Primary, she now takes care of five classes at the same time.
She said that she had to organize some members of the class to lead an activity as they wait for their lesson period.
DIFFICULTIES
1. The mud structure is in deterioration and this contributes to the unfortunate closure of school whenever there is rain-pour.
2. The entire community has one toilet which is also used by these students and this is not helping to promote the teaching and learning process as Students might take longer time to ease themselves before returning for lessons.
3. Snakes and other harmful animals use to visit the classrooms and this scare of a lot of the students.
4. That notwithstanding, she has to close the school anytime there is a meeting to attend;
a. “Sometimes, teaching becomes very difficult when there is an official meeting going on at the district level. In that case, I would have to close the kids and attend the meeting or at times I become late for the meeting. Sometimes when I am sick, teaching becomes difficult because I am not able to help the children to learn.”
b. “When that happens, I just have to sit down in class or absent myself and ask the children not to come to school at all. Also, as the only teacher and the substantive headteacher here, I don’t have textbooks to help me carry out my work. Our classroom block is a mud structure. Sometimes we find snakes in between some walls due to cracks that have developed in them”.
INTERVENTION
Mr. Michael Anabiga had promised to employ another person to supplement Mad. Adelaide in the teaching and learning process. Mr. Michael is the Assembly member of the area.
“As an assembly member, I decided to engage the services of two other persons to teach to assist the only teacher especially when she is absent. Not long ago after the COVID-19 outbreak, one of them gained admission into the university, so he left,” he said.
He also stated that, “… the other person also was admitted into a tertiary institution. He would be leaving at the end of this month. On this note, we are appealing to the government to come in to assist us. Not only the government, non-governmental organizations or private individuals who have the zeal to help should kindly intervene”.

3. Amalfi Coast, Italy
The Amalfi Coast is a popular tourist destination for the region and Italy as a whole, attracting thousands of tourists annually.
