A BIG MOUSE, which certainly is
stubborn, recently caused power cuts in some areas in Kumasi, the capital of
Ashanti Region, it has been revealed.
Power supply to affected areas
suddenly got cut and attempts by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to
detect the fault and repair it always proved futile.
The affected communities stayed in
total darkness for sometime before ECG engineers finally managed to detect the
fault and restored power supply.
Shockingly, the ECG engineers later
observed that a big mouse was responsible for the unplanned power cut as it
(mouse) got stuck in some sensitive wires.
The Ashanti Regional PRO of the ECG,
Mr. Erasmus Kyere Baidoo, who made the disclosure, explained that not all power
cuts in the region are intentional.
He said sometimes the power cuts are
caused by unimaginable things “like the big mouse, which got stuck in wires and
caused power cuts, recently”.
Kyere Baidoo allayed the fears of
residents of Kumasi that planned power cuts also known as ‘Dumsor’ was about to
return into the Ashanti Region.
According to him, the ECG is
currently not experiencing any challenges that could lead to ‘Dumsor’
returning, so the people should not worry about anything.
The ECG PRO said the recent
intermittent power cuts that were experienced in the Ashanti Region don’t
necessarily mean ‘Dumsor’ is looming.
“We experienced few jumper cuts, which is not anything serious. I can boldly state that Ashanti Region has stable power supply now”, he assured on Nhyira fm.
