Wa Central MP Blasts Energy Minister For Denying Power Cuts

The Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has come under fire from Wa Central Member of Parliament Rashid Pelpuo for persistently disputing the recent blackouts.

Pelpuo contended that the current administration benefited from former President Mahama’s actions to resolve historical power issues.

This criticism follows Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s claim that ‘dumsor’ only occurred under Mahama’s leadership.

Opoku Prempeh described the current situation as ‘dum sie sie,’ to wit temporary outages for repairs.

Pelpuo, speaking on Eyewitness News on May 3rd, 2024, called the Minister’s comments ‘insulting’ to Ghanaians.

“John Mahama did what he did to save the people of Ghana from our power need. This president has failed to add, not even a quarter megawatt of energy, to our power needs.

“So, if there is dumsor, which we know there is, and you come to tell us there is no dumsor, it is an insult to the Ghanaian. It is a way of disrespect towards the feelings and the pulses of Ghanaians. It is unacceptable and I think Ghanaians should always take them on,” he stated.
