NPP communicator calls on Ghanaians to understand the recent power outages
Dumsor in Ghana

The Upper East Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sansui Issah has asked Ghanaians to stop the hypocrisy, ungratefulness and understand that the recent power outages are caused by some technical challenges hence cannot be classified as Dumsor.

He disclosed that Ghanaians are unappreciative of what the NPP government has done for them especially in the Energy sector during Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo's first four years without any interruption yet the few challenges have brought up the Dumsor saga to denounce all the good works of the government.

According to him, Ghanaians endured blackout four years under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government therefore they should bear with the recent power challenges as the NPP government is bent on ending such unfortunate happenings.

The Communicator noted that the unfortunate happenings in the power sector came as a surprise, and strategic measures are underway to ending such happenings hence the reason why it cannot be classified as dumsor.

“We cannot say today’s power outages can be classified as dumsor, no! We are not in dumsor because under the NDC government, there was a timetable for it. So, if we were patient for four years under the NDC government, I think we should be more than patience to listen to what the power sector technocrats are saying.

'They are giving us three to four months to fix things and I hope we can trust them on that.”

Mr Sansui stressed that Ghanaians should hold the technicians at the power sector by their words following their assurance of resolving the recent power outages soon. He, therefore, assured that the NPP government has the interest of Ghanaians at heart and will do anything possible to cushion their livelihoods.
