Former President John Dramani Mahama has attacked the Akufo-Addo led-government for taking credit in solving the power crisis (dumsor) that hit the country for well over three years.
According to him, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has no hand in solving the power crisis, asserting that Ghana is enjoying stable power supply mainly because of the efficient power plants his administration brought into the country.
Presenting the 2018 budget in Parliament, the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta among other things announced that government has finally solved the power crises as promised.
“When I presented the budget in March, I indicated our commitment to take strategic steps to fix the challenges facing the economy and restore hope to Ghanaians. “I’m happy to note that we have turned the economy around. We have achieved in one year, what seemed impossible to achieve in eight years’’
“We’ll like to assure Ghanaians that the government of President Nana Akufo Addo is a government which delivers on its promises, we promised to end dumsor and we’ve done that,” Hon. Ken Ofori Atta noted.
But former President Mahama while addressing members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) UK branch, said Ghana will zoom into power crisis as soon as the power plants he established are turned off for a moment, wondering how the NPP can claim it has solved ‘dumsor’ in such a situation.
“Take Ameri, switch it off, take Karpower, switch it off, take KTPP, switch it off, take Asogli Phase 2, switch it off and see if Ghana won’t go back to dumsor…we’ll go straight back to dumsor, no curve no bend. So how could you have solved dumsor. Show me one megawatt of power that has been added since NPP assumed office. we had a deficit, and today some of these plants we brought are the most efficient and they are working to ensure that we have power. The way they (government) are going they are likely to run us into dumsor, because of this populist reduction in tariffs.”

The elections are long gone, and you are still crying every day, aba!! Are you going to cry like this into the next election? I have never seen an ex-president so bitter about a lost election. Please turn that bitterness into something positive out of politics. You will stand to get more satisfaction in that. Crying everyday only drains the little energy you have left, and you might end up dying early.
John Mahama you are very arrogant, the plant belongs to the state. Was the plant bought with your personal money. Learn how to talk
this man is very funny, does he own a power plant/machine at all, was it bought from his pocket money? hahahaaa i can't laugh

Hmmmmm....pls I really want to know... hope he was paid for being president of GH... and also he didn't buy the plants in his name but but GH.. so how on Earth can you say my plants. .. this is below the belt.. this guy needs help....
Mahama is now behaving like a psycho. He was so wicked that he decided to turn off all the energy plants in the country while the citizens cried and lost their jobs, businesses and houses to fire. Suddenly comes a good Samaritan who decides to turn on the plants so people can have some life. And surprisingly, a wicked Mahama is lamenting and accusing such a person for allowing Ghanaians to enjoy the fruits of their labour. How sad.
