Lawyer Kwame Jantuah has praised former President John Dramani Mahama for his proactive measures in addressing an impending 'dumsor' immediately after he was installed as the 6th president of the 4th Republic.
Speaking on Morning Starr with Naa Dedei Tettey monitored by MyNewsGH, Jantuah highlighted Mahama's decisive response to the infamous "dumsor" crisis and its long-term impact on the energy sector. "If President Mahama hadn't gone through the 'dumsor' crisis, it would have been difficult for him to address the energy sector's issues today," Jantuah remarked. "But he immediately recognized the problem and put a team in place, which I think is a positive step." The "dumsor" crisis, characterized by erratic power outages, posed a significant challenge to the previous Mahama administration.
It disrupted businesses, strained households, and sparked public outcry.
Jantuah explained that Mahama's swift acknowledgement of the issue and his efforts to mitigate the crisis laid a foundation for ongoing reforms in the energy sector.
