Gyamfi-Poku expressed confidence in the power sector managers' ability to address the issue effectively.

He highlighted the active involvement of President Akufo-Addo and his team in resolving the crisis, emphasizing their commitment to restoring normalcy within two weeks.

Gyamfi-Poku dismissed concerns of a return to 'dumsor,' asserting that the current challenges were being diligently addressed and would not persist into April.

During an address on TV3 Gyamfi-Poku stated, “We apologize for the inconvenience, but as last night the president and his team were at Peduase crossing the Ts to ensure we are back to normal.”

“The challenge I have is to say there is dumsor. The scenario we have now is being fixed and it will be fixed within two weeks, we are on top of the issue, and we are going to fix the problem.”

“We will not enter the month of April with this problem, we know what the problems are, it is not a situation that is helpless.”

His statements echoed earlier assurances from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), which promised a swift normalization of power supply.

ECG's Managing Director, Samuel Mahama, attributed the outages to maintenance work and acknowledged the need for improved communication with the public regarding such activities.
