In response to President Akufo-Addo's denial of intermittent power supply during his recent State of the Nation Address, Dr. Omane Boamah questioned the current government's inability to manage the power situation despite the claimed excess capacity. He expressed concerns about the paradox of having abundant power generation capacity while homes and businesses experience 'Dumsor.'

Dr. Omane Boamah further criticised the government for continuing to blame former President John Mahama for the ongoing power challenges, highlighting Mahama's efforts in completing the Atuabo Gas Processing plant to supplement the power sector's fuel supply.

Below is the full statement by Dr. Edward Omane Boamah:

The Diabetes of “Excess Power Capacity”: Akufo-Addo & Bawumia, Why Are Ghanaians Living in Dumsor with Mahama’s “Excess Capacity”?

John Dramani Mahama provided over 800 million watts (800 megawatts) of power to solve dumsor.

With this important intervention, he solved dumsor and positioned Ghana for higher productivity, progress and prosperity.

Mahama also completed the Atuabo Gas Processing plant to augment supply of fuel for the power sector.

He did not blame his predecessors!

Yet, the clueless economist said don’t praise Mahama for solving dumsor and some of you bought into the clueless economist’s unparalled naivety.

Mahama never asked for praise!

The NPP even blamed Mahama for providing excess capacity… You remember?

Today, 2nd March, 2024, I ask where is the excess capacity?

And why are Ghanaians living in dumsor with “excess capacity?”

Why are Ghanaians suffering from Diabetes of “excess power capacity” such that in the abundance of sugar (power generation capacity) the body cells (homes and businesses in Ghana) lack power and suffering dumsor?
