President John Dramani Mahama has reassured Ghanaians of his government’s dedication to resolving the nation’s energy challenges.
He said this while speaking at the National Convention of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana on January 9. While he acknowledged the current energy crisis, he assured citizens that his administration is taking decisive action to address these pressing issues.
He said his government came during a challenging time, but he believes that is why they were elected. He promised transparency about the difficulties Ghana faces and vowed to take full responsibility for resolving them.
“We are assuming office at a critical time in our nation’s history. Ghana is faced with significant challenges. But that is exactly the reason why you elected us. We will transparently let you understand what those challenges are, and we will take responsibility for solving them,” he stated.
The President highlighted the risk of power outages due to limited fuel supplies (dumsor). “There is a threat of power outages, but my brothers and sisters, don’t despair. You elected us to solve the problems, not to put the blame on anybody else,” he said.
He expressed confidence in the innovative ideas presented by the team he convened and pledged to ensure consistent energy availability.
“I can assure you of some of the ideas they have come up with. We will make sure that your lights stay on and that we do not have dumsor,” he stated.
The President further called for urgent and collaborative efforts to tackle the energy crisis.
