Energy analyst, Benjamin Nsiah has strongly rebuked Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh for his dismissive response to the concerns of the majority of Ghanaians regarding the ongoing power sector crisis.
In the wake of Dr. Opoku Prempeh's widely criticized comments on the current erratic power supply, commonly referred to as 'dumsor', Ghanaians have vocally expressed their discontent over the past 24 hours.
During a media interview at the inauguration of the NPP campaign team in the Ashanti Region, the Sector Minister claimed that the current NPP government had managed the energy sector "300 times better" than the previous Mahama Administration.
“300 times better” than that of the erstwhile Mahama Administration. Dr. Opoku Prempeh, in a seemingly flippant response to a journalist's inquiry, suggested that those seeking a timetable should provide one themselves “Ask those who want it to bring it if there is," the Manhyia South MP told the journalists.
"I haven’t seen any timetable," he noted, adding: "The Electricity Company of Ghana says that there’s no timetable coming," so "why do you want to bring a timetable?" "For what purpose? Why would somebody wake up and wish for evil and wish bad for the country?" he indicated.
Responding flippantly to a journalist's inquiry about the crisis, he suggested that those seeking a timetable should create one themselves, stating, "Ask those who want it to bring it if there is one."
Benjamin Nsiah, in an interview with Class News, condemned Dr. Opoku Prempeh's remarks as "sickening" and emphasized the Minister's responsibility to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
Mr Nsiah urged the Minister to move beyond political blame games and focus on practical solutions for the energy sector's challenges.
He emphasized the need for increased investment in the power sector to enhance infrastructure and ensure its resilience against future challenges. Mr Nsiah stressed that addressing Ghana's energy issues should transcend political considerations, highlighting the importance of pragmatic approaches to resolve the crisis.
