'Dumsor': Power crisis requires more than financial remedies - NPP Manifesto Committee member

“Stop buying into people’s propaganda…there is a simple propaganda that all of you have bought into, which is ‘this thing about government needs money to buy fuel.’ I am asking you which fuel does government need money to buy.

So when people say that government doesn’t have money to do fuel, they are saying that government doesn’t have money to buy gas.

“What they are saying is that we need money for the liquid fuel to supplement the shortage when there is a gas shortfall,” he said.https://www.youtube.com/embed/30-AyORoyZA

“Government has money to buy gas, government does not owe anybody before they have to supply,” he insisted.

“So when we say that this is not about money, let’s not listen to the NDC propaganda where they are saying that government is broke,” he added.

This implies that the government is handicapped and does not have the resources to fund energy sector and resolve the crisis.

Let’s not prejudice the conversation by saying that the government is broke, the IMF and all the voodoo mathematics you and your colleagues went through,” he said.
