The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr insists the real cause of the recent power crisis is 'money'.
The ruling government following frequent power outages has assured that the problem will be solved within twelve days.
They have attributed the cause of the 'dumsor' as it is popularly called to technical challenges even though several pundits believe it is more than that.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwesi Pratt asked the ruling government to be truthful to Ghanaians and accept the fact that the energy sector is highly indebted.
"They should stop giving us excuses. The reality is that the power outages are affecting businesses. It is not due to generation capacity; it is due to heavy indebtedness. There is no money to pay for gas and so on," he said.
According to him, "if that debt is not cleared the dumsor will continue no matter the government in power".

An irresponsible and reckless excuses from government and people still support this, no wonder we are were we are: ***barred word*** government
Mr. Pratt can insist on anything like, but who cares about kwesi pratt and his bias journalism. We all know he is saying what he is saying all because his cronies are not in power to share state monies with hi for no job done. We have had enough of him and his good for nothing noise.
In so far as such reckless comments was imported from Radio Gold Saturday Alhaji & Alhaji program, for which Pratt was on the Panel, no one should bother commenting further.
