The head of history and political studies department at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr. Richard Amoako Baah is calling on the Electricity company of Ghana (ECG) not to exempt parliament and other education institutions like KNUST from the load shedding exercise in the country.
He made this statement in an interview on ‘Focus Morning Show’ (on Focus FM 94.3) when asked if the calls by some parliamentarians to exclude parlianemt from the load shedding exercise is in the right direction. According to him, all Ghanaians should be treated fairly and believes the parliamentarians should feel what the ordinary Ghanaian feels to be able to address the concerns of the respective people they represent as early as possible.
The outspoken political analyst however added that, some institutions like the health sector should be exempted to help preserve lives.
Dr. Baah further stated that institutions like KNUST should not be exempted from the exercise but urged the authorities to provide back ups when the lights go off. He believes this will reduce the burden on some people who always suffer as a result of the load shedding exercise.
