It is unfortunate that you have deliberately refused to follow the dumsor narration till now. The NDC milked Ghana by purchasing excess capacity Ghana does not need and we are paying for such capacity, whether it is used or not. No sanne person who has to account to the public will do that. Apart from the inflated prices, this government has so far paid more than 1 billion USD for the excess capacity alone and you say we should clap for you and your incompetent party?
Reading through the mid term budget I am convinced Mahama solved the problem of dumsor. The reason why I say so is that before the budget Amewu has claimed that NPP has not added any Megawatt to the national grade. Now NPP is blaming NDC for signing contract that are currently generating excess power which Ghana is not using. If we have excess power it means there is enough that should end dumsor. If these contracts that are generating excess power are linked to NDC then it is obvious NDC are the ones who ended dumsor.
