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.
.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.
.Even during President Kufuor’s era, they had to import generators from outside under Kofi Addah.
“But President John Mahama was bold enough, humble enough, and took responsibility and said he was going to solve it
Before President Mahama left office, we had excess capacity and our generation was about 83 percent
So let’s get that on record that President Mahama is the only president in the history of this country who solved dumsor.”
