Those demanding a load-shedding timetable are people who wish evil for Ghana, Energy Minister Mathew Opoku Prempeh has said.

He has asked those clamouring for it to bring one.

“Ask those who want it to bring it if there is [one]," the Manhyia South MP told journalists on Monday, 25 March 2024, at the inauguration of the governing New Patriotic Party's campaign team in the Ashanti Region.

"I haven’t seen any timetable," he noted, adding: "The Electricity Company of Ghana says that there’s no timetable coming," so "why do you want to bring a timetable?"

"For what purpose? Why would somebody wake up and wish for evil and wish bad for the country?" he wondered.

Dr Opoku Prempeh said: "When it is not planned, you can’t tell the person.”

Power supply has not been stable across the country for a few weeks now.

While the minority caucus has persistently demanded a load-shedding timetable from the state power distributor, the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission recently ordered ECG to publish one by 27 March.
