DUMSOR AND BUSINESS PRODUCTIVITY
The
power crisis which has bedeviled the country is not only giving sleep
discomfort but also affecting business productivity. “Dumsor” as it is
popularly called has now become the worry of businesses.
Businesses
that use electricity now have to incur extra cost for diesel to be able to execute
their work. Those who cannot afford fueling generators
have no option than to shut down their operations.
Speaking
to some shop owners, hairdressers and seamstresses, they disclosed to B&LG
that, they cannot test fridges and televisions for customers as well as
hairdressers and seamstresses being unable to sow dresses and do the hairs of
the their respective customers.
BLG
in an exclusive interview with Miss Deborah Ayeh of Okera Inn Hotel revealed
that, management buys Gh¢2,000.00 worth of diesel every week in a bid to
satisfy their customers. This situation is affecting their profit as well as
hindering management to increase salaries and to employ more workers.
On
the other side, small scale businesses that deal in charging of phones at lorry
stations disclosed that, business is booming resulting from the recent power crisis.
They hoped that in all these, things will work out and power crisis will be
curbed.
