Speaking on Accra based Peace FM, Pratt called on government to be truthful to Ghanaians on the situation.
"They should stop giving us excuses. The reality is that the power outages are affecting businesses. It is not due to generation capacity; it is due to heavy indebtedness. There is no money to pay for gas and so on," he said.
