Maverick Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, says the NPP should stop giving excuses for the recent power outages ‘dumsor’ and solve the problem.
The outspoken MP said the Akufo-Addo government has been able to stabilize the country’s electricity for the past two years, and thus has no excuse to blame the Mahama administration.
“To say it is a financial challenge is no excuse. We have to solve the problem because it was part of our campaign promises, and we’ve been able to stabilize it for two years, so, however, we did it, we have to continue to sustain it. There is no excuse for us” he insisted.
There has been a huge concern in recent weeks as there have been power outages in several parts of the country especially in Accra.
The NDC have attributed the situation to financial challenges but the government are saying it was a result of some technical challenges.
Speaking on Badwam on Adom TV, Kennedy Agyapong said the NPP government must do everything possible to stop the return of ‘dumsor’ to save them from embarrassment.
“We have to be straightforward, honest and sincere to Ghanaians and tell them that this is the challenge, and we are going to solve it. My question is that, if you criticize NDC in 2016, as politicians and government, we have to line up all the failures of NDC and what we condemned, and take them one by one and solve them. That makes you a better government. But if you also come and the same problem you condemned to win election, you can’t solve it, then even the technical people will even say politicians are not to be believed” he added.
The Deputy Minister for Energy, William Owurako Aidoo, however, said the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has no right to comment on the recent power outages ‘Dumsor’ because during their administration they presided over a worse power situation.
This comment seems not to have gone down with many who have rather charged him to help solve the problem rather than throw jabs.
