'You Did Not Fix Dumsor'- Amin Adam Slams Mahama
Accra, Ghana - 03 March, 2025 - Ghana's Minority party has disputed President John Dramani Mahama's assertion that his administration resolved the country's power crisis, known locally as "dumsor," in 2016.
The opposition party claims that the current power outages are evidence that the issue was never fully addressed.
Former Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adam called on President Mahama to release a load-shedding timetable to help businesses and households plan and mitigate economic losses. The Minority party argues that the previous administration, led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, successfully stabilized the power supply.
The return of power outages has severely impacted small businesses reliant on stable electricity, such as hair salons and welding shops. The increasing use of generators in shops, clinics, and social events further highlights the worsening power supply issues.
The Minority party has urged the government to publish a load-shedding timetable to help alleviate the economic losses caused by the erratic power supplies.
“Mr. President, you did not fix ‘dumsor’ as you claimed in your address. Your record on ‘dumsor’ is abysmal, unlike your predecessor, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who kept the lights on. As we are back to ‘dumsor’ in another Mahama term, Ghanaians remember with fear and anxiety the potential devastation this could cause for them and their businesses, especially small businesses like hair salons, welders, dressmakers, and many more who earn their daily bread from these vocations,” Dr. Amin Adam stated.
“Many people and businesses have already felt the pinch and the pain of living with the current ‘dumsor.’ We have also seen the return of electric generating sets in shops, clinics, and at social events.
“Mr. President, this is the true state of our nation! To mitigate the impact of these erratic power supplies, we, the Mighty Minority, call on the government to publish a load-shedding timetable to help people and businesses plan effectively and offset some of the losses the economy is currently suffering from.
