The Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCO) has stated emphatically that it is too early and baseless to ascribe the cause of the fire at Rawlings� house to them. Power fluctuations in the early hours of Sunday have been blamed for the fire at the former first couple�s Ridge residence.
But the Public Relations Officer of GRIDCO, Albert Quainoo, told Joy News that until investigations are completed, it would be premature and very unfair to �jump into conclusion� whilst investigations are ongoing. �Very, very, very unfair, there are thousands and thousands of homes in this country, a fire outbreak in one residence when so many have suffered this disruption in power supply, how do we put this to the power outage. Let�s wait for the National Fire Service and other agencies to do their investigations.�
Mr Quainoo said the disruption which happened around 1:00am was as a result of a fire at their critical sub-station equipment at Tema. Meanwhile, he said greater percentage of the load has been restored.
