The minority leader in parliament Alexander Afenyo Markin has mocked the John Dramani Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government over the recent erratic power supply commonly known as dumsor.
Afenyo Markin asserted that when Ghanaians say let there be light, the NDC government says let there be darkness.
He asserted that with John Mahama in office Ghanaians now have a dumsor pro max.
Afenyo Markin is quoted by JOY NEWS to have stated, “When Ghanaians say let there be light, the NDC says let there be darkness. And now we have dumsor pro max”.
Meanwhile, the former vice president and presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has also mocked the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over erratic power commonly known as dumsor.
According to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP for eight years in power was able to manage the power generation but the NDC in just four months is having a challenge.
He asserted that the NPP warned Ghanaians that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and erratic power commonly known as dumsor walked together but Ghanaians did not listen.
Speaking during the NPP’s “Thank You Tour”, Dr Bawumia stated, “Do you have a 24-hour economy with dumsor, we warned Ghanaians that as for the NDC, they and dumsor walk together. They walk together once they take one right foot like this dumsor also follows and then they are off working.
They are walking together and Ghanaians did not listen. Today it is obvious to everybody that we have a major problem something we managed for 8 years has become a challenge them in just four months”, he added.
However, John Jinapor the Minister for Energy and Green Transition has stated there is no need for a one-day dumsor timetable.
According to the sector minister, Ghana is generating enough just to meet demand and we have no excess capacity when one plant goes off it creates disruption.
He asserted that they cannot publish a load-shedding timetable when they are sure that they can bring the plant back.
John Jinapor further pleaded with Ghanaians to give the government some time as they work on these challenges to ensure there is an uninterrupted supply of power.
