Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Joyce Bawah Mogtari, special aide to former President John Dramani Mahama said the Akufo-Addo administration has failed to take responsibility for the power crisis (Dumsor) in the parts of the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

In her view, the failure of the government to take responsibility should be condemned because their own actions have the situation.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the energy challenges on her X platform, she said\u201d These power outages must be condemned especially when those responsible refuse to accept responsibility for their own actions that have led to the consequences we are experiencing.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntold hardships, unemployment, corruption and stealing, land grabbing and now complete darkness and a total disregard for our basic needs!<\/p>\n

\u201cThey rode on the back of propaganda to campaign. Where is the excess of power we didn\u2019t need or require! Can we have it now! Won the election on lies, have governed with lies and propaganda and now trying hard to hoodwink us, the darkness has exposed them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Akufo Addo\/Bawumia administration will go down as the worst in the history of this country. Ghana deserves better!\u201d<\/p>\n

These power outages must be condemned especially when those responsible refuse to accept responsibility for their own actions that have led to the consequences we are experiencing.<\/p>\n

Also, the lawmaker for Bongo, Edward Bawa, observed that the Managing Director (MD) of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Dubik Mahama, should not be in office for peddling falsehood to Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

He said that the ECG lied in its March 11 statement, indicating that the erratic power supply (dumsor) being experienced in certain parts of the country was a result of 630 faulty transformers within its operational areas.<\/p>\n

Mr. Bawa maintained that the MD for the ECG, having approved the statement, which was at variance with the findings from the regulator, the Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC), should continue to be in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat man should not be in the office today,\u201d he said on The Key Points on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been established that ECG looked into the eyes of Ghanaians and lied through a press statement. ECG issued a statement saying that the reason for the outages in the country between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. was as a result of the fact that they were replacing 630 of their transformers,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He explained that on the back of the ECG\u2019s statement, the PURC requested the GPS locations and the ratings of the transformers, stressing that the PURC, based on the ratings would determine whether those transformers were overloaded.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom their [PURC] findings, only 89 went beyond 100. If you put it, about 626 of the transformers were between 70 and 100; some were even less than 70. ECG lied to the public under the signature of their Managing Director.<\/p>\n

In his opinion, the action of the ECG MD alone \u201cgives a reason why the man should not be in the office today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bongo lawmaker further argued that PURC\u2019s findings vindicated the minority\u2019s position that ECG has since August 2023 failed to comply with the Cash Waterfall Mechanism.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to put it on record that all the things we were saying have been proven right. We had indicated that from August [2023] up until February [2024], all the revenues that ECG collected were never put into the cash waterfall mechanism.<\/p>\n
