The NPP Minority Caucus has criticized President Mahama’s claims of resolving Ghana’s power crisis, stating that intermittent outages continue to disrupt daily life. They urged the government to issue a load-shedding timetable to help citizens and businesses cope with the current situation.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority Caucus in Parliament has strongly criticized President John Dramani Mahama’s assertions regarding the resolution of Ghana’s power crisis, commonly referred to as “dumsor.” They contested his claims made in a recent address, citing ongoing issues with power supply that disrupt everyday life and business operations.
Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, a former Minister of Finance, challenged the President to provide a load-shedding timetable, pointing out the current intermittent power outages. He emphasized, “Mr. President, you did not fix ‘dumsor’ as you claimed in your address. Your record on ‘dumsor’ is abysmal.” He contrasted Mahama’s handling of the situation with that of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who had been effective in maintaining a reliable power supply.
During the “True State of the Nation Address” by the NPP Minority Caucus, Dr. Adam highlighted the severe impact of power outages on small businesses that depend on stable electricity. He remarked on the re-emergence of electric generating sets in various establishments, indicating the extent of the current situation.
The Minority leaders urged the government to take prompt action by releasing a load-shedding schedule to help mitigate the negative consequences of the power disruptions. Dr. Adam stated, “To mitigate the impact of these erratic power supplies, we, the Mighty Minority, call on the government to publish a load-shedding timetable to help people and businesses plan effectively.”
In conclusion, the NPP Minority Caucus has openly challenged President Mahama’s claims of resolving the power crisis in Ghana, pointing to persisting power outages that undermining daily activities and business operations. They have called for transparency through the publication of a load-shedding timetable to assist citizens in managing the ongoing situation more effectively.
