In his reaction, Sarkodie slammed the situation as a clear case of “misplaced priorities” by those in authority.

Sharing the distressing video on his Instagram story on March 27, 2024, Sarkodie emphasized the dire consequences of neglecting essential services, especially affecting innocent infants in critical care.

Tragically, reports surfaced of a newborn’s death attributed to the erratic power supply at the facility, highlighting the urgent need for reliable electricity to sustain life-saving equipment in neonatal units.

While calls for a power outage timetable from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have been met with dismissals from both the power distributor and the energy minister, Sarkodie’s outspoken commentary adds to the growing criticism of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government’s handling of the ongoing dumsor crisis.

Despite the ministry’s attempts to clarify remarks made by Energy Minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh, discontent continues to brew online, underscoring the pressing need for effective solutions to Ghana’s power challenges.
