Minister for Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO's posture and attitude during a media engagement on Ghana's recent power outages has sparked fierce debate on social media.

During an interview at a random event on March 25, 2024, the minister was questioned about the recent power outages and the measures his outfit was taking to resolve the problem.

In his response, he admitted that the country has for the past few weeks, been experiencing power outages but his ministry was working on it.

After admitting to dumsor in his first response on the question;

Journalist said, "But we are still experiencing dumsor."

NAPO: Nobody has said we haven't. I'm just saying it's much more better than what John Mahama did."

However, he appeared to dissociate himself from using the word 'dumsor' in his earlier response.

NAPO: That is the word you used. I never used that. I promised you we were going to work on it. It is not a work that is a single event.

If you are comparing four years-four years NPP administration, the energy sector is three hundred times better than John Mahama. Nobody has said we haven't but I'm just saying that its far better than what John Mahama ever did".
