Rev. Martey: Prayers Will Solve ‘Dumsor’ In Three Months
The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana,
Rev. Professor Emmanuel Martey has stated that
prayers can solve the country’s current energy
crisis.

According to him, if all religious bodies come
together and pray, the crisis would be solved.

“Are you a Christian, a Muslim or a
traditionalist? Then pray and see what the
miraculous God can do.

“Do you believe in prayers, if yes then let the
entire nation pray to witness what God can do…in
three months,” Rev Martey said in an interview
on Adom FM Friday.

Rev. Prof. Martey has recently come under harsh
criticisms by government officials for claiming
that he can fix Ghana’s current energy crisis
popularly called ‘dumsor’ in three months if
he was the President of Ghana.

Ghana is currently reeling under severe power
crisis. The country is shedding between 650
megawatts during peak periods and 450 megawatts
during off peak periods.

The energy crisis has forced small-scale
businesses and industries to lay-off workers and,
in some instances shut down.

Authorities of the Ghana Grid Company Limited and
the Volta River Authority have attributed the
current crisis to low water levels in the Akosombo
Dam and the lack of gas to power some of the
country’s thermal plants.

The Electricity Company of Ghana has, however,
assured that the current load shedding will
improve soon.

According to them, some projects expected to be
completed by the end of the month would improve
the situation.
