Director of Elections of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo says former President John Dramani Mahama would have ended the 'dumsor' crises confronting the economy if Ghanaians hadn't voted his government out of power.
According to him, the previous government made several interventions to improve the energy sector before exiting office.
Mr. Ofosu Ampofo noted that 'dumsor' was expected to come to an end by the second term of the Mahama government.
He told host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' that "In our energy sector policy, it was expected that by the end of (if we had won power) the four-year period, Ghana would have been completely self-sufficient in energy that we could have even become a net exporter of energy to other neighbouring countries. I can say that to all intents and purposes, before the government (Mahama government) left, as for generation capacity; we could generate enough to meet the demands of the country . . . As at the time that we were leaving office, we were not experiencing dumsor . . . Under NDC, we did a lot, invested a lot in generation.”
He therefore called on the current administration to find a lasting solution to the energy problems since that was a major objective for their victory in last year's elections.
Also touching on the energy situation in the country, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper expressed displeasure with the criticisms against the ruling government regarding the sector.
He stated that the members of the opposition NDC seems not to have simmered down after their defeat.
To him, their tone of analysis of the situation smacks of pain and so they speak with aggression particularly with the energy situation.
Mr. Baako wondered how the opposition party would expect the current administration to resolve the challenges within just two months after elected into office.

I must admit this Ofosu Ampofo guy needs mental health assessment PERIOD.
***barred word*** talk. How do NDC see themselves? very annoying statement from Ampofo. How do you regard our intelligence? Are members of NDC sensible at all???
EI! ALI BABA AND THE TWO .........
The NDC government had over 4 years and couldn't solve dumso and they expect the current administration to solve it in 2 months? Hypocrisy at the highest level. Were we not told that the power crisis has been solved by the previous government only for it to return in a matter of weeks. Tweeea This people will be in opposition for a very long time because their lies are manifesting and Ghanaians are witnessing it
If we are to believe Ofosu Ampofo analysis that NDC would have solved the energy crisis in their second term, then john jinapor and Bawa are big liars.They told us that NDC fixed the dumsor was over and it is NPP that has brought it back. How can the same NDC party speaks with two diferent mouth on one and the same subject. Is it not a clear indication that Ghanaians were right when they voted NDC out for they are liars who knows no shame.
Isn't surprising at all coz ve known Mr Ofosu Ampofo to be a ridiculouuus Liaaaar. The problem we ve in this country is , people who are suppose to be role models are not best brains for the youth to emulate, Mr Ampofo don't think you were in Ghana, or probably you are still intoxiiicated by ur lost of power
