The Government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo should reach out to the erstwhile John Mahama administration to provide them with tuition on how to fix the prevailing erratic power supply in the country, locally christened ‘dumsor’, John Jinapor, a former Deputy Minister of Power and Member of Parliament for Yapei, has said.
According to him, the Mahama administration dealt with the energy situation in the country in a comprehensive and coherent manner and so there was no reason why the country should be having issues with energy.
Speaking on Asempa FM on Tuesday February 28, Mr Jinapor said: “Under no circumstance should we be experiencing dumsor given the positive stride and the resilient robust nature of the power sector we handed over to them. And, so, if dumsor is recurring under this administration, they should solve it and not blame the John Mahama administration. We dealt with it in a comprehensive and coherent manner. If we were to be in government by now we wouldn’t be experiencing dumsor.
“Under the NDC administration the FPSO went down for almost two months, at a point Ameri was not running, they were not producing gas at all but we sustained power. Around August 2016 thereabout, FPSO went down again but we sustained the power and so if they want they should invite us to teach them how to deal with the power crisis and how to sustain it.”
Meanwhile, on Monday, 27 February, the Ministry of Energy in a press statement said maintenance work to allow for the connection and commissioning of the gas supply systems from the TEN fields to the Atuabo processing plant had been successfully completed, hence an end to the power outages.
The statement explained that completion of the works, originally slated from 3 to 20 February, 2017, had to be extended to 26 February, 2017 due to some operational difficulties experienced by Tullow Oil, the operators of the TEN fields.
“Following the joint press release by VRA, Gridco, and ECG on January 23, 2017 in connection with the planned shutdown by the Ghana National Gas Company (GNGC) for maintenance and also to allow for the connection and commissioning of the gas supply systems from the TEN fields to the Atuabo processing plant, we wish to advise that the work has been successfully completed and it is our expectation that power supply will return to normal by February 27, 2017,” the statement signed by the Communications Officer of the Ministry, King A Wellington, said.
Government said its first major objective upon assumption of office was to “stop a looming ‘dumsor’ resulting from these operational challenges”.

Oh Ghana why are we cursed with such 1-d10ts?Just take a look at this guy .Who else but John Mahama would make such a character deputy minister of an important ministry like the Energy Ministry?These people continue to take us for ***barred word***.Just look at the debt they've left at the ministry.Is the NDC saying that if they had won the election we would not be facing these challenges now?And it's always them and us .The nation never matters .Ghana only matters to these people when there is the opportunity to st3a1 something. Cars, Mansions, Land etc.Who in the current government needs the help of this schmuck to resolve anything? Arrogance sent them into opposition and it will surely keep them there.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣!!!!!
Ah, Ah, Ah, they say TALK IS CHEAP indeed! You couldn't fix it in 5 years but want Nana Addo to fix it in 2 months? NDC IS STILL DAZED!
Look at this boy too. It is only ND c that that will appoint somebody like this as a minister. Ah Ghana pa a. ...and he has the nerve to be cynical.
ARROGANCE! ARROGANCE! ARROGANCE! ARROGANCE! ARROGANCE!
Listen to these clowns. You've eight solid years to fix "dumsor" instead with crass incompetence and astonishing ***barred word*** you exacerbated the issue. Goaway with your cheap talk. Clowns!!!
My friend, NDC has nothing to offer anybody in Ghana. At the time they were existing we were still under Dumsor.What do they have to offer. If they have any solutions they should redirect it to the better organisation of their party which had a full complement of National Executives losing terribly to a party being led by stop gap executives.
Is John Jinapo a Ghanaian? Does he have the interest of Ghana at heart?. What is this bluff about "Seek help from NDC to fix...?" If Ghana has energy in whose interest would that be? John you should be ashamed of yourself and the MP you are. APUUUUU!!
But didn't Mahama boasted in parliament that HE HAD FIXED DUMSOR?So it mean this was a blatant lie. If he had we wouldn't be experiencing dumsor now. Thank God NDC and Mahama are out of power. At least the governance of lie has stop. Liars who think all Ghanaians are f00l.
