Kingsley Amoakwa-Boadu, a private legal practitioner and a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) communication team, has observed that President Nana Akufo-Addo did not say the erratic power supply (Dumsor) is over.
According to him, the President extended his appreciation to Ghanaians for their patience in the ongoing power crisis.
Contributing to the discussions on the recent power outages in parts of Ghana on The Key Points, the NPP communicator maintained that the government admits that there are power supply challenges.
“The President extended his heartfelt gratitude to Ghanaians for their patience and understanding during recent temporary challenge. It does not mean that we do not admit that there are no challenges.
“Indeed, even before there was a dumsor, there are instances where it rains and there is a power outage and so you cannot say that he said something and if there is some power outage then there is dumsor,” he explained.
President Akufo-Addo, while addressing workers on Wednesday during the May Day celebrations, underscored that the unfortunate era of dumsor will not return.
