How Ghana's chronic power shortages are affecting daily life, businesses and the economy.

Ed Butler reports from Ghana on how the West African country's chronic power shortages are affecting people's everyday lives, businesses and the economy. We hear from Accra's workshops struggling with the power cuts and expensive generators, residents making use of solar energy alternatives, and ask what the government needs to do to solve the problem.
