Ghanaians will be deluding themselves if they believe that the Nana Addo-led government will reduce electricity tariffs says the managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr.
Minister of Energy, Boakye Agyarko addressing members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at a rally during the party’s National Delegates Conference at Cape Coast said Ghanaians will soon enjoy a reduction in electricity tariffs.
“Have patience with us, we have promised that electricity tariffs will reduce. Just as we said dumsor will be over, I’m assuring you that, very soon when you see your electricity bills, you will know that when NPP promises it honours it” he assured.
But contributing to a panel discussion on Saturday’s edition of Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Kwesi Pratt said looking at ‘the current circumstance’ there is no way government will be able to reduce electricity tariffs.
“Last week they told us oh don’t worry; we promised we were going to reduce electricity tariff; it’s coming, we are going to reduce it drastically…look under the current circumstance, when we are shifting from hydro to thermal, and with the kind of prices crude oil is achieving on the international market, if anybody tells you that they are going to reduce electricity tariff in the face of the privatisation of the ECG, and you believe them, it is up to you. At least tell us the basic truth...” he urged.

to what gains, all this negative energy you spilling. You all sat down when killer energy tarrifs were lapped on Ghanaians. What a man!
Why won't Pratt find a better job to do than moving from one radio station to another to take stipends and vent his anger on persons and party he doesn't like?
Pratt and his NDC party will never see possibility in anything because they are drowned in incompetence. Free SHS is not possible, Dams in villages is not possible, etc. The only thing possible for these 1diots is to Create Loot and Share. Fire burn you 1diots.
Kwesi Pratt has turned NDC-Propagandist-with his wisful thinking as opposed to reality.Then, the Minister did not make his assetion in a vacuum. It is a reality that the Government of Ghana has strucked a 15-year deal to buy a substantial amount of gas from Eq.Guinea to power a plant in Tadi which will boost up our power supply.I donot need to list out other interventions being looked into, because that mind set can never be changed, the diabolic intention of Mr Pratt, the so called Nkrumahist turned ***barred word*** who goes from Radio Stations to the other to be feed by his pay masters.ABABRAKA!!, dishonesty in the highest order.
Kwesi Prattt and former President are sitting on one chair. Because, they CANNOT think far and for future also they have CANNOT MENTALITY. How can such a person LEAD a group of people their lives will prosper. Kwesi Prattt and his bunch of inward looking were saying NPP and for that matter, NANA Cannot implement any FREE SHS in this country. what are we seeing or heraring now. Kwesi DID NOT say anything bad against NDC from 2009 to 2016. Even though their massive chopping, grabbing, taking by force, deceit. By the way Kwesi was NOT among those who Voted for NPP into power so he should be relaxed and watching how NANA will transform this country for us. If NDC were in power could they have PAID even pesewa in NHIS debts, Nurses and Training College Allowances?. Withdrawing some Taxes from the system.
Eii Kwasi Pratt,you never believed anything from the camp of NPP.Didn't ever say NPP can never implement free senior high school programme? Continue to disgracee youself
Kwasi never believed anything from the NPP. He lives in his own paradise where he thinks his thoughts are that of Ghanaians. He should continue day dreaming until the day that he will realize that nothing good or relevant comes out of his mouth.
NO TRUTH IN GHANA LEADERSHIPS .....
The power generated from Ghana is more expensive than the one we buy from Ivory Coast.There so many corrupt deal pertaining to power production in Ghana. Mahama and his brother had their cut. NPP came, the cut for the Mahamas have been giving to them, by Armari and co. So Kwasi is right, no tariff will reduce. Power is 3 times more expensive in Ghana than Ivory Cost, but Ghana produce oil, Ivory Coast dont. Same applies to petrol, the Oil Making Companies (OMC) pays bribe to government officials so that petrol price remains high for higher profit for them. Mahama is out, now NPP is taking the bribe. Petrol in Ivory Coast is 35% cheaper than Ghana. Despite the fact that Ghana produces oil. If Nana follow the Akyim mafias in NPP who want to make Ken Ofori Atta president after Nana. And put all their hope in free SHS and One village one dam. And refuse to reduce electricity tariff and high price of petrol. 2020 NDC can return to power. Kwasi Pratt is so right
Even your corrupt John Mahama you believed in him.Fuuuulish journalist. Spewing nonses at that fuuuulish Radio Station. ***barred word*** with no integrity.
