Ghana's Parliamentary Minority has called for a clear load-shedding timetable and disputed the government's attribution of ongoing power outages solely to a fire at Akosombo that damaged six switches and removed about 1,000 megawatts from the grid. Deputy Ranking Member Collins Adomako Mensah said the outages predate the incident and stem from broader system instability, with the fire merely worsening an already fragile situation.
