Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government is not being honest with Ghanaians concerning the recent power crisis facing the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government led by President Nana Akufo-Addo is \u201ctotally dishonest\u201d with its handling of the frequent power outages popularly known as \u2018Dumsor\u2019.<\/p>\n

Over the past few weeks, several parts of Ghana have experienced prolonged power outages, forcing businesses to rely on generators.<\/p>\n

However, government spokespersons and the power distributor, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), have insisted that there\u2019s no Dumsor and that the country is not shedding load.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the sector minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, appearing before the Government Assurances Committee of Parliament on May 3, reiterated his position that there\u2019s no dumsor in Ghana.<\/p>\n

In addition, he said what Ghanaians are experiencing now is \u2018Dum sie sie\u2019, which is \u201cprofoundly different from Dumsor\u201d experienced under former President John Mahama in 2015.<\/p>\n

Also, President Akufo-Addo, addressing workers at the annual May Day celebration on Wednesday, emphasised that the unfortunate era of dumsor has been dealt with effectively.<\/p>\n

He said the erratic power supply challenges would be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIssues surrounding the maintenance of the transformers have been resolved, Indeed, we have witnessed stable power supply across the country with no load shedding reported anywhere yesterday\u2026I am confident that the unfortunate era of Dumsor will not return,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But the NDC communicator, Mr. Gyamfi, emphasised that the NPP government is a \u201cbunch of liars\u201d and Ghanaians cannot take their word for it that Dumsor is a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

Sammy Gyamfi spoke on TV3\u2019s news analysis programme, The Key Points,<\/strong> on Saturday, May 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, what is playing out how two things that number one the ruling NPP government led by [President] Akufo-Addo and Bawumia are totally dishonest.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThese are a bunch of liars; you can\u2019t take their word for it. Number two, these people have no respect for Ghanaians because you can see the display of obscene arrogance and insensitivity to the plight of Ghanaians,\u201d said Sammy Gyamfi.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, he said it was not dumsor\u2026now the president says load-shedding has been solved. How do you solve a problem which never existed? he quizzed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, the recent remarks by the Energy Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, demonstrate that \u201che does not care about the sentiments of the Ghanaian people\u201d as far as the frequent power outages are concerned.<\/p>\n
