Damang: The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA), Dr Mary Awusi, has alleged that the reported fire at the Akosombo Sub-station in the Eastern Region was orchestrated by some elements in the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Her comments follow calls by the Minority in Parliament for President John Dramani Mahama to dismiss the Minister of Energy and Green Transition over ongoing power challenges.
According to Ghana Web, Dr Awusi claimed during an interview on The Citizen Show with Nana Yaw Darko on Accra 100.5 FM, that prior to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) assuming office, some members of the NPP had predicted possible power outages. She suggested that such statements indicate prior knowledge of developments within the energy sector, which might have been deliberately engineered to undermine the current administration.
Dr Awusi described the situation as a calculated attempt to sabotage the government and link it to the re-emergence of 'dumsor,' a term commonly used to describe persistent power outages in Ghana. She appealed to the public to remain calm and patient, assuring that the government is taking steps to stabilise the power situation in the coming days.
