The Director of Legal Affairs for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Edudzi Tamekloe, has mocked the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government for planning to rename the AMERI power plants as Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The official Facebook page of the Volta River Authority (VRA), with excitement, has been counting down to the April 17 \u201cCommission of the Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant (K1TPP).\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cThe excitement to commission the Kumasi 1 Thermal Power Plant (K1TPP) at Anwomaso, is near. 4 days more\u2026\u201d a post on April 13 read.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But the private legal practitioner and NDC communicator, Edudzi Tamekloe, in a counter-post, criticised the Akufo-Addo government for the decsion as it \u201cdemonised\u201d former President John Mahama for procuring the power plants for the country in 2015.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBetween 2013 and 2015, visionary leader, John Dramani Mahama, in his desire to end dumsor [erratic power supply], brought the Ameri Power Plants, comprising 10 units, each with the capacity to generate 25 megawatts of electricity.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He highlighted former President Mahama\u2019s significant role in securing the power plants during his administration in an attempt to ease the nation\u2019s electricity issue.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mr. Tamekloe stated that the renaming of the power plant is a \u201cdeliberate ploy to deceive Ghanaians,\u201d particularly those residing in the Ashanti Region, where the plant is located.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cAkufo Addo and BAWUMIA decided to demonise John Mahama for this game-changer emergency power deployment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Akufo Addo and BAWUMIA administration decided to relocate 6 units out of the 10 to Ashanti Region to generate 150 megawatts of electricity for the middle belt of the country. The remaining four deployed to give T3 additional 100 megawatts.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
