Did I not recently hear the President-John Dramani Mahama and the Minister of Energy saying Ghanaians should turn off electrical appliances when they are not in used—as part of efforts to cut down wasteful use of energy so to help cut down the unbearable ‘Dumsor’?
It wouldn’t be contemptuous to call our Ghanaian leaders a big JOKE because, they seem to know what to do but they never do it themselves—expecting others to do what they have failed to do.
A GhanaCelebrities.Com reader sent the below photos taken at Buokrom in Kumasi in ‘broad’ day—and the street lights have been left on. This we are told has been the case for some days now.
Ghanaians are complaining of ‘Dumsor’ and this is how those in charge are ensuring that the little power available is being wasted…If this is not mismanagement, what else is?
Now, who needs to cut down the number of electrical appliances being used at home? Tweaaa, put all your gadgets on—and let’s all waste it together…
mismanagement. smh.
I am guessing for job security some nincompoop decided to the keep the turning on/off of the street lights manual rather than have a timer. Then being a typical Ghanaian who feels entitled to everything under the sun without having to work for it, now refuses to do his work. So the lights stays on and the country suffers. It takes an ecobank employee, paid to handle international transactions, a week to verify a SWIFT code and three months to approve a SWIFT verbiage. Her ignorance and arrogant behaviour goes unpunished. For the past three months she’s had cold and been off many times than I can count. Now imagine the foreigner who is subjected this attitude. He says these Africans are a joke and leaves. The bank loses money, the country loses money and the ordinary Ghanaian misses out on a job opportunity. Then they whine about ‘Ghana is hard’. They should all be marched to the edge of the mountain and after they’ve receive a dozen lashes from spiked leather whips, forced to jump off.
Pure mismanagement. LOL at the last statement tho.
