The Minority in Parliament has rejected President John Dramani Mahama's claim that he successfully resolved the erratic power supply, commonly referred to as dumsor.
Addressing a press conference in Parliament on Monday, March 3, to respond to the State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered by President Mahama on Thursday, February 27, former Finance Minister Dr Mohammed Amin Adam criticised the President's handling of the country's energy crisis.
According to Dr Amin Adam, President Mahama's record on resolving dumsor remains unimpressive, especially when compared to his predecessor, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. "You did not fix dumsor," the Karaga lawmaker stated. "Your record on dumsor is abysmal, unlike your predecessor who kept the lights on." He further challenged the Mahama-led administration to release a load-shedding timetable to help businesses and households plan accordingly amid the unstable power supply being experienced in parts of the country. "Publish a load-shedding timetable to assist businesses," Dr Amin Adam urged.
His comments come in response to President Mahama's remarks during the SONA, where the President insisted that his administration was committed to tackling the nation's economic and energy challenges.
