Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has questioned the Nana Addo-Bawumia-led government for misrepresenting facts about the country’s energy sector.
After assuming power, the Nana Addo-Bawumia government vilified the Mahama-led government for procuring too much power than needed. But years later, many are wondering how the too much has become too little leading to erratic power supply.
Former Communication Minister Dr Omane Boamah wrote an open letter to the Energy Minister, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, President Nana Akufo Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, psoing some serious questions.
He said despite claims by ECG that their transformers were overloaded, PURC has busted that lie. So he asked what justification the government have for “plunging Ghana into Dumsor” when the erstwhile Mahama administration ensured there was excess.

Dear Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (Napo) & Dr. Bawumia,
Is this Dumsor Power Diabetes: Such that Power is Abundant but Homes and Businesses are Lacking Power?
Your deceitful and incompetent Akufo-Addo Bawumia government cannot even be truthful about Dumsor!
PURC says transformers are not the cause of the dumsor Ghanaians are confronted with.
What justification can your NPP government offer Ghanaians for plunging Ghana into Dumsor when John Dramani Mahama provided enough power generation plants including the Ameri thermal plant which you have recently re-located to Kumasi and re-named?
And if I may add should Ghanaians not be ‘whipping and slapping’ your government for lying about paying for excess power and blaming Mahama for it???
Where is the excess power?
Excess power indeed! Or this Dumsor is power diabetes: where sugar/power is abundant but homes and businesses are lacking power?
Liars!!!!
