The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, has responded to former President Mahama for claiming that his administration fixed Ghana’s power crisis before exiting power.
He thus advised former president Mahama to remain mute and concentrate on saving his blemished image rather than trying to take credit for the input President Akufo-Addo and vice President Bawumia have laid down to solve the energy crisis in Ghana.
Over the past months, Chairman Wontumi explained that the current NPP administration has brought relative stability to the power sector in place of the erratic power situation it inherited.
The NPP scribe also known as Chairman Wontumi stated that the former president deserves no attention since he created ‘dumsor” and went as far as blaming the crisis to usage of mobile phones in the country.
He added that “when Ghanaians begun to question the former president and seek for answers, he told us that we should blame the energy crisis in the country on the increasing mobile phone usage in Ghana. Today Nana Akufo-Addo has solved the issue so he wants to take credit for it. He should stop telling lies for once in his life”.
It would be recalled that former President Mahama, in an address to a Ghanaian community in Gambia whilst on a state visit, stated that the number of mobile phones in the country supersedes the total population in Ghana, hence taking a huge toll on the meager megawatts of power in the country.
According to the former President, “Ghana’s population is 25 million, but statistics indicates that mobile phone lines in Ghana is over 27 million and these phones are charged every night, and this is one of the causes of the load-shedding…,” he said.
Chairman Wontumi therefore challenged former President Mahama to categorically state the measures he put in place to solve the energy problem which became known as ‘dumsor’ in Ghana.
“Former President Mahama must have short memories. He should come out and tell us the measures he put in place to solve energy crisis we experienced under him”, Chairman Wontumi said.
According to Mr. Antwi-Boasiako, under the leadership of the former president Mahama, killer tarrifs were introduced; stunting the growth of businesses and driving the progress of Ghana “backwards”.
In his view, under the tenure of former President Mahama, paying of electricity bills became more expensive than rent. He noted that the bad measures the erstwhile administration put in place, made life unbearable leading to people describing it as “Killer Mahama tariffs.”
“We haven’t forgotten about the ‘Killer Mahama tariffs’ it is still fresh in our minds,” Chairman Wontumi noted.

Parliament should not approve of the ExxonMobils 80 percent oil deal. You give ExxonMobil 80 percent and Nana Addo takes 5 percent and the whole Ghana gets 15 percent. If we do that we will always be poor and the white boys will go back to the States and call this place a shittthole. Forck you if this is indeed a shittthole what are you doing here? Go back home and enjoy your paradise. Hunger of the white man has brought the world Bank and IMF to Africa so that through manipulation and bribery they can send something home. When Africa gets good leaders Europeans will go to bed hungry.
Hehehehehehehehehehe, Wontumi with a single brain cell should tell Ghanaians how did NPP invest in the energy sector after taking over from NDC?
Thanks Chairman for Putting Mahama and NDC in their right perspective. In fact even in NPP's first 3 months there was dumsor and you could hear NDC commentators asking Bawumia and Nana Addo to concentrate on how they can fixed the dumsor they promised Ghanaians and stop witch-hunting them. Now that NPP has fixed the problem by clearing the huge debts in the energy sector paving way for constant supply by our creditors the propaganda Mahama and NDC communicators are going round peddling lies that they ended dumsor. Only short memory people will forget your mess in all sectors. This is just a calculated attempt to disrupt the attention of NPP to focus on achieving its promises. We are not in a campaign season but this man is so desperate as if we are in an election year. Mahama you are just a candidate trying to woo your delegates who know very well that you were incompetent but because they don't have any choice they may give you their mandate, so try and tell them that I failed you but give me another chance if I can repair the damages and stop these needless and unwarranted attacks on Bawumia and Nana Addo. At least act like a stateman for once
Mahama increased the capacity beyond our need but didn't have what it takes to power the plants. It's like you have a V8 but don't have money to fuel it for use. Then you woke up another day to buy another V8 and the next V8. Even though you have increased the capacity (3 V8s), you still could not use the vehicles because you don't have fuel enough to run the vehicles. Then your friend takes over from you and makes fuel available enough to run all the 3V8s.
How did Nana Addo solved Dumsor. Tell us every body.
Can anybody tell us the total megawatz at the disposal of the nation in 2009 and in December 2016 as well as what we have now, this simple calculation will help us know who solved the dumsor.
Thank u chairman 1 .......don't give this l ier Ford Mahama chance to lie again.
Is this wontumi guy an adult or a sicko, he seems to have mental unbalance and so speaks before he uses his demented rotten brains
