Atik Mohammed says he disagrees with those calling on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to provide them with a load-shedding timetable.

There are incessant calls on the electricity distributor to release a power schedule so as consumers can plan their daily activities.

The schedule is aimed at alleviating the impact of the power cuts on Ghanaians as the unpredictability of the situation is destroying home appliances, food and other relevant and costly items.

This is compounding the economic pressures on Ghanaians, hence the ECG comes under intense criticisms for refusing to give out the timetable.

Commenting on the matter during Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” morning show, the ex-PNC General Secretary stated it is premature to release a timetable now because the problem might be temporary.

To him, what is important is for the ECG to tell the truth by revealing the real problem to determine whether or not a timetable is necessary.

“For now,  I do not support the idea that we should be given a timetable. What if the problem is temporary, a problem that will go after a month or two and you rush to demand a timetable, you’re putting the cart before the horse,” he told Nana Yaw Kesseh.
