Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has said government is proud to have at least solved Ghana’s energy problem which collapsed many business during former President Mahama’s tenure.
He urged Ghanaians to appreciate government’s effort to have solved the situation which was a major burden to the country’s economy.
“Do not forget what Dumsor caused this country some years ago. In less than two years, the NPP government has solved the situation. There is a change now,” Mr Ofori-Atta said during his presentation of the 2019 Budget and Economic Policy to parliament in accordance with Article 179 of the 1992 constitution.
Ghana's power supply became erratic in early 2001. There was reduced generation capacity, due to a significant drop in water levels at the Akosombo Dam.
The term (Dumsor) gain prominence in August 2012, when the Mahama led government told Ghanaians that a ship's anchor cut the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP), forcing gas turbines to shut down for lack of fuel.
Since 2012, load shedding became a regular experience, and the country plunged into a major power crisis - The situation in recent times has been resolved.

Ken don't allow your uncle's disease affect u. He is old you are young. you do well by quoting Bible.
NPP was created by GOD to solve Ghanaian problem whilst CPP/NDC was created by GOD to create problems. Ghana has one GOD but half solves problems and the other half create problems. The same God can do many things unless the Chiefs in the South Volta understand the creation of Oti Region.
Ghanaians just have short memories! NPP continue with your good work
The members of the NDC are liken to my half-brother who still claims that Great Olympics is the best football team in Ghana. No amount of facts, explanations, evidence, etc, could change his mind. Such people the Pauline Writings claim that they are born to be destroyed by God. Why? Because their minds will never accept the truth. Even in opposition, the NDC is incompetent. Everybody knows that the economy is moving in the right direction, but the NDC people are saying the country is retrogressing. What a party!
listen to this man oo! npp did what? You think say we be kids!
If it is good, we did it by ourselves; if it turns out bad, we blame it on predecesors. God forgive the politician. the same way Ghanaians voted out Mahama in 2014 and sealed it in 2016 officially, it's the same way Ghanaians have voted Nana out already in November 2018 and would seal it in 2020 officially. Go on blowing the hot air
We know dumso did not end under your watch. Is this competence in lying?
See Ghanaians. Short memories at play. When did NDC solve DUMSOR here in Ghana? For years, common movement of the citizenry was dictated by which part of the country light was. Workers losing their jobs like nobody's business. Workers report to work only to sit idle looking into black computer screens because there was no light. People losing their lives at hospitals due to DUMSOR. The noise of generators all around the country is no more. The shear heat and sweat we had to endure both day and night. NDC should please just stop this Nons3nse argument about who solved DUMSOR. Issue of DUMSOR is an emotional one for some us so they should just stop any argument please.
Do not fall too low to politics i respected you a lot. how did you solve dumso, comeout clean next time.
Politicians have NO SHAME when it comes to TRUTHFULNESS 'anokware' irrespective of AGE.DUMSOR solved by NPP INDEED. Yoooooh we hear n we'll see in 2020.
