Of Mortals and men
The Electricity company of Ghana today published a full page advert in the Daily Graphic apologizing for the power failure at the Cape Coast Centre for National Culture.
On closer reading it appears the apology was not because Ghana Power does not usually have power failures, but rather because the President of Ghana was in attendance.
So Ghana Power! When dignitaries are in attendance at a function, they rate full page apologies. There is obviously no apology for the piss poor service given to the mere mortals of the country when their power fails, or power surges cook all the electrical appliances in ones house.(as happened at our Accra office in January).
The best part was, the power failure was caused by overloading of the internal wiring system of the building, causing a fire to break out.
The meter that formed part of the burnt wires was bypassed.
I assume if we had to bypass our meters for any similar reason there would be hell to pay.
As my uncle George once wrote “some animals are more equal than others…..”
