The Member of Parliament for Akyem Oda, Alexander Akwasi Acquah, has questioned the rationale behind the government's decision to settle power sector debts through taxation, despite claims that there was no power crisis in the country.
According to the former Deputy Health Minister, the (NDC) consistently denied the existence of dumsor.
Therefore, the justification for burdening Ghanaians with taxes to clear related debts is unacceptable.
He argued that if there was truly no such crisis, then taxing citizens to pay off energy debts amounts to economic deception and political dishonesty. "Is this not the same government that claimed there was no dumsor?" he asked.
