Member of Parliament for Bongo constituency, Edward Bawa, has shed light on the efforts made by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to address the ongoing power outages in Ghana.
In an interview with Citi TV, Mr. Bawa emphasized the actions taken by the previous John Dramani Mahama administration to tackle the power crisis.
During his interview, Mr. Bawa highlighted the significant investments made by the Mahama-led government in the energy sector to combat the effects of the power outages. Despite facing criticism during the “Dumsor” era, some NDC leaders claim that they were able to resolve the power crisis before the end of their term.
Mr. Bawa reiterated that the Mahama government successfully tackled the root causes of the power outages during its tenure. Specifically, issues such as generation capacity, fuel security, and unpaid accumulated legacy debts were effectively addressed by the government in 2015.
The measures implemented by the former president were aimed at ensuring a stable and reliable supply of electricity to meet the needs of the Ghanaian population. By the close of 2015, the major issues related to the power sector had been addressed, including the procurement of enough generation power to deal with the immediate cause of “Dumsor.”
Overall, Mr. Bawa’s insights provide valuable information on the actions taken by the NDC government to resolve the power crisis in Ghana. This article serves as a reminder of the efforts made in the past to ensure a stable energy supply for the country.
