Stop shifting blames and fix 'dumsor' - Kufuor tells Gov't

Some leaders from the NDC and other government communicators have often blamed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) under Kufuor for the country’s power crisis.

But former president Kufuor believes such political talks will not be ideal for solving the problem.

"It’s just political talks. Eight years should be long enough for anybody with solutions to show.

"The current regime has been in power for close to eight years so if they are not having the solution, we shouldn’t accept shifting of blames onto earlier regimes," President Kufour told Accra-based GHone TV.

Many parts of the country have been experiencing erratic supply of power over the past two months.

A cross-section of the public is of the opinion that the country has been plunged into an energy crisis again.

But speaking at this year’s Eid-ul Fitr celebration at the Black Star square, President Mahama said challenges with the country’s power supply will be addressed soon, adding that the country is not under any load shedding regime.

"We have recently suffered some generational problems. Because of sabotage in Nigeria on the terminals, crude oil we ordered from Nigeria has not arrived and so it has created some generational problems for us."I have asked the Bulk Oil Storage company to start storing at least one month of light crude oil supply for Ghana so that in the event anything happens at the supply end in Nigeria we are not affected the way we are affected.

"We are not declaring load shedding. I believe things will normalise," he said.
