You elected us to solve the problems, we will make sure your lights stay on – President John Dramani Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that his administration will put in place adequate measures to avert any power outages affectionately called ‘Dumsor’.
According to him, the past government did not put in place measures to forestall blackouts after the loss of almost 2000 megawatts of power.
He made this revelation at the 92nd Annual Meeting of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission held at Gomoa Pomadze in the Central Region.
He said, “We had to make provisions for fuel and this is light crude oil, heavy fuel oil and distillate fuel, unfortunately, enough provision was not made for this eventuality, it takes time to import, three weeks to place an order and get it delivered, when it arrives you have to treat the fuel for another week and half to make it ready for use in the generation plants.”
Against this backdrop, he disclosed that there is a threat of power outages, “but my brothers and sisters don’t despair, like I said, you elected us to solve the problem and not to put the blame on anyone else.”
He added that “so yesterday I called a meeting of all the stakeholders in the electricity value chain and they have been sitting since yesterday till today to come out with innovative solutions to to keep the lights on.”
“So I can assure you with some of the ideas they have come up with we would make sure that your lights stay on and we would not have dumsor, as you popularly call it,” he concluded by assuring Ghanaians.
