Okay so after a loooong break, your Edwinology’s Lab series is back.

Here we take statements of public officials and news personalities through some basic tests for logic and also satirise the news into capsules of humour.

So what have we missed? So many. Central Market fires, AFCON is still ongoing, President John Mahama is always an easy target because of his chronic inability to hit his targets - and Nayele Ametefe's cocaine scandal etc. But no news is as obvious as the light that is not there.

So objective question

Which state institution do you go to when you want answers to Ghana’s renewed ‘erractic-ness’ (Is that a word?) in power supply?

   a)ECG             b)VRA            c)GRIDCO         d) PURC

If we choose ECG, they will direct us to VRA and if we choose the VRA, we will be asked to find out from GRIDCO and this will set off a melee among the three.

Like a woman trying to identify the father of her child after being gang raped, consumers will be tossed around in frustrating despair.

So let’s go to PURC. There, we will find all these other institutions and more sitting on the Board there.

Everybody knows the PURC is no longer credible after that protracted defense they mounted to increase utility tariffs last year. They promised to ensure efficiency if we ‘promise’ to pay higher realistic tariffs.

The only thing PURC really regulates in this country is the air-condition in the Board Chairman’s office.

Yes. The only thing.

It is painful and pretty boring to talk about "dumsor" because our own genetically-engineered cowardice means complain is all we can. The other option is to wait for 2016 – only to forget.

Asking the Ghanaian to keep in mind what happened this year to help take the political decision next year is like asking the Birth and Death Registry to give you the birth certificate of your one-year-old child.

They didn’t record it. You can’t have it.

So yeah – truth is we are cowards. Patient, peaceful but – cowards.

Whenever we ask God for peace, I strongly suspect He gets a good laugh. How could he give us peace?

Here is a great idea.

He implanted in our genes – cowardice. A genetically assured way of ensuring we don’t fight over electric power and political power.

You are a coward. And if it makes you feel good, I am a coward too.

Put it this way. People are making money selling 'certified' junk food Indomie at night but you can't make money selling power every day?

So in the wake of the season three of Ghana’s game of excuses, Joy FM called Nana Yaa Jantuah to tell us what the problem is and what the PURC is doing to protect the people they describe on their website as 'stakeholders'.

Yes you.

So joining us on the line is the Public Relations Officer of PURC, Nana Yaa……

“I am not the Public Relations Officer. I am the Director of Public Relations”.

An important point of correction. But it didn’t end there. The Director later remonstrated over the consistent error in calling her what she is not. A position she was promoted from years ago.

So while we got demoted from having 24-hour power supply to having 12 hours supply with a timetable and while we got demoted again from getting 12 hours to getting power depending on the body temperature of Chief Executive Officers of VRA, ECG ,GRIDCo and the President.

All this while, Nana Yaa Jantuah got promoted.

And not getting her title right really hurts. It really does. It hurts in the same way that a 7-month old baby lost her life after a fire outbreak linked to power fluctuations.

Getting her title wrong is so painful as the 27-year--old teacher who died last year after an explosion at the Power Station in Winneba caused her T.V to explode and her body to catch fire.

She died a few days later while the Director of Public Relations was busily printing her complimentary cards for 2015.

So look, if you guys really want to get some consistent power supply, you would have to learn to pronounce her title correct – and consistently.

So how do we ensure that we get our power by keeping in mind that Nana Yaa Gyantua is Director of Public Affairs not PRO of PURC?

Tricky situation.

Hmmmmmm

Okay Edwinology’s Lab has got a great idea.

Why not put her title and all the other titles at PURC into the thermal plants at VRA and ‘spark’ the engines – we are definitely gonna get power.

According to GRIDCo, we need more than 500 megawatts to get the 2,000 megawatts we need for distribution.

The position of Director can give us 75 megawatts.

Chairman can give us 120 megawatts – and that is almost half of the whole power generation of Bui Dam.

Consultant -20 megawatts.

In fact why not put the whole organogram of the PURC into the T-3 at Aboadze and just imagine how much power we are gonna get?

Just imagine putting all those certificates, all those appointment letters, all those promotion letters and citations into the two dams? That's like getting 600 megawatts if every position can averagely fetch us 30 megawatts.

So here is the point. The word on the street is that those of us who are educated and entitled and in positions of authority are the reason why those on the streets – are still there.

And when you compare the fact that despite pleading guilty, Deputy Minister’s bodyguard, Constable Nicholas Asante, was jailed 20 years within 48 hours after he was caught stealing Gh₵900.

Constable vs Contractor in the battle for social justice.

And juxtapose this to the bizarre reality that we can’t find anybody to jail after 4 years since Alfred Agbesi Woyome was illegally paid GH₵51 million cedis, then you know that the case of the streetman, is compelling.

Very compelling.

So Nana Yaa Jantuah, before you shove your titles in our faces, remember that in a results-oriented country, you would not be entitled to that title anymore if businesses gets crumpled and crippled in a power crisis for three years,

You would be fired.
