The Minority Caucus in Parliament has stated that the intermittent power outages, commonly referred to as ‘dumsor’ were effectively addressed by former President John Dramani Mahama before the conclusion of his term.
The Caucus claims that Mahama’s administration left office with an excess capacity of power, leaving the country with about 83 percent of generational capacity.
This statement comes in response to remarks by Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who attributed the dumsor phenomenon solely to the Mahama government, despite its resurgence during the Akufo-Addo administration.
John Oti Bless, the Ranking Member on the Government Assurances Committee, argued that Mr Mahama is the only Ghanaian president to have effectively solved challenges confronting the power sector.
