Peace Watch Ghana has suggested that the recent challenges affecting the nation’s stable power supply may be the result of deliberate sabotage against the government.
Executive Director Madam Nyankopa Daniels stated that the government has been transparent with the public, providing detailed accounts of the measures being deployed to address the energy sector crisis.
She argued that there may be an underlying agenda by “evil-minded persons” to disrupt the power sector specifically to tarnish the government’s reputation.
Madam Daniels clarified that the current situation should not be classified as dumsor, despite the narrative being projected by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
She emphasised the necessity of depoliticising these issues, noting that without a stable power supply, local businesses face collapse.
Appearing on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, she claimed there is a calculated attempt to create artificial problems within the energy sector.
According to Madam Daniels, these efforts aim to give President John Dramani Mahama a bad reputation and validate the opposition’s criticisms of his energy policies.
“You know how diabolical the NPP is. When they target achieving something, they will use every means, including evil machinations, to undermine you. And so, if the NDC does not sit up and allow the NPP to change the narrative, it will destroy the gains of the government. The energy minister must sit up.”
She further likened President Mahama’s visionary leadership to that of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, suggesting that the “false narratives” surrounding the return of dumsor are intended to overshadow his achievements.
Madam Daniels urged Energy Minister John Jinapor to remain vigilant and avoid the “stinking stigma” being attached to the government by the opposition. She indicated that the minister must not become complacent but should instead be aggressive in identifying and dealing with anyone sabotaging the state’s efforts.
She argued that the NPP lacks the moral authority to attack the current administration on energy matters. She noted that while the previous government failed to maintain essential infrastructure, the current administration has been actively replacing faulty transformers across the country.
Madam Daniels concluded by stressing that if the government intends to make lasting progress, it must adopt a more assertive approach to managing energy issues.
