Former Deputy Power Minister, John Abdulai Jinapor has rebuked the incumbent government for failing to come clean on the “avoidable” recent intermittent power outages experienced nationwide.
Unlike the Akufo-Addo administration, the Yapei-Kusawgu MP said the erstwhile NDC government led by former President John Mahama who was keen on accountability kept Ghanaians abreast with information regarding the country’s power supply challenges.
In a letter dated April 13, the ranking member on the Mines and Energy Committee, said, “When the nation was faced with a similar challenge under the NDC, the Mahama government was candid with Ghanaians and proceeded to implement pragmatic policies to comprehensively address the challenge subsequently handed over a resilient a robust energy sector to President Akufo-Addo.”
Despite the governing party inheriting over ₵230 million in the ESLA account from the NDC government, the country according to the former Power Minister has been plunged into a period of unnotified power interruptions which keeps “worsening day by day.”
