The Ghana Union of Traders’ Associations (GUTA) has joined calls for the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to release a load-shedding timetable, as the ongoing power interruptions are negatively affecting businesses and livelihoods across the country.
In a statement, GUTA highlighted the significant impact of the power outages on various sectors, including agriculture, trade, and industry.
According to them, manufacturers are struggling to maintain production schedules and plan for their workforce due to the inconsistent power supply, which also increases production costs and worsens living conditions.
Traders, shop owners, wholesalers, tailors, dressmakers, electricians, and other artisans are also facing setbacks in their businesses due to the “Dumsor phenomenon.”
