NPP Minority Critiques President Mahama’s Claims on Power Crisis Resolution

The NPP Minority Caucus has rejected President Mahama’s claims of resolving Ghana’s power crisis in 2016, citing ongoing outages. Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam criticized the President’s record and called for a load-shedding timetable to help businesses and citizens facing disruptions. The Minority emphasizes the negative impact of intermittent power on daily life and economic activities.

The Minority Caucus of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Parliament has sharply criticized President John Dramani Mahama for his assertions that he resolved Ghana’s persistent power crisis, known as “dumsor,” in 2016. They have rejected his claims, arguing that the ongoing power outages demonstrate otherwise.

Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, a former Minister of Finance, urged President Mahama to provide a load-shedding schedule, as many Ghanaians continue to suffer from intermittent power disruptions disrupting their daily lives. He remarked, “Mr. President, you did not fix ‘dumsor’ as you claimed in your address. Your record on ‘dumsor’ is abysmal, unlike your predecessor, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who kept the lights on.”

During the NPP Minority Caucus’s “True State of the Nation Address” in Parliament, Dr. Adam highlighted how the return of power outages is severely impacting small businesses that depend on reliable electricity. He noted, “Many people and businesses have already felt the pinch and the pain of living with the current ‘dumsor.’”

To alleviate the adverse effects of the current power supply issues, the Minority has urged the government to publish a comprehensive load-shedding timetable. Dr. Adam emphasized, “This is the true state of our nation. We, the Mighty Minority, call on the government to publish a load-shedding timetable to help people and businesses plan effectively and offset some of the losses the economy is currently suffering from.”

In summary, the NPP Minority Caucus has expressed strong disapproval of President Mahama’s claims regarding the resolution of Ghana’s power crisis. They are calling for transparency through the publication of a load-shedding schedule to assist citizens and businesses grappling with the adverse effects of intermittent power supply. The critique underscores the pressing need for reliable electricity during this challenging time.
