The Consumer Protection Agency has thrown its weight behind a group of concerned Ghanaians<\/strong><\/a><\/span> set to demonstrate over the country\u2019s recurrent power crisis.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”724umkhgzrDm105CnciFiCbNS0lfVB72″]The group has described the crisis as \u201cshameful\u201d and \u201cembarrassing,\u201d hence, its decision to demonstrate on 6th<\/sup> March, Independence Day.<\/p>\n

The power crisis has worsened<\/strong><\/a><\/span> over the past few days with consumers enduring sometimes, 24 hours without power.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>, the Chief Executive Officer of the Consumer Protection Agency, Kofi Kapito lauded the initiative and indicated their willingness to participate.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody who feels that they want to hit the streets, they are entitled to it, I wish they would extend an invitation to us but they haven\u2019t, as the OccupyGhana people did, they sent us an invitation that is why we joined them. But I don\u2019t know this organization but I say kudos to them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Kapito said, \u201cthe constitution even guarantee that we should be able to go and demand what is ours. It is not fair to pay your electricity bills and then you get home and you don\u2019t have light.<\/p>\n
