A former Chief Executive Officer of the National Identification Authority (NIA), Osei Kwame Griffiths, has criticised some communicators of the (NPP) for their recent remarks about the country's power generation challenges, suggesting that they are setting a trap for the -led government.
Speaking on Joy Prime on Friday, January 10, 2025, he pointed out that some phrases used by NPP communicators, such as 'keep the lights on, let's see,' are designed to paint the government as incompetent.
Osei Kwame Griffiths argued that the situation is being manipulated to create a negative narrative about the new administration's ability to address the power sector's challenges. "And you see the pronouncements by a lot of these NPP communicators. 'Keep the lights on, let's see,' 'Mahama is coming back with dumsor', those kinds of communications are making it appear as though somebody has set this trap to make it look as if the incoming government is incompetent, you know, and therefore cannot keep the lights on, when in actual fact, you know, the timeline for preparation is very clear that they had dropped the ball.
They failed in their responsibility to make sure that we have enough fuel," he noted.
