No need to insult the president for doing the right thing. Its just a technical issue which is being resolved but it doesnt mean that the country is experiencing dumsor again.

Look, everyone has seen the headline and Mahama is coming out with another version of an excuse he hasn't given on Dumsor...several times.

At the end of the day, those NDC party actitivits posting on this thread will say "but, but, but,.." for every complaint. Simple common sense issue is this...no population that is dissatisfied or feels disconnected to prosperity (as is the case with the majority of Ghanaians) would vote a failing president in. Unless there is some sabotage at play.

You see every country has a limit even Ghanaians who seems to tolerate corruption and value (relatively) poor achievements. Ghana should be a head of where it is.

A country that was in surplus, had discovered oil, had its debts removed (via HIPC) SHOULD BE DOING BETTER THAN THIS, but for corruption and waste.

People can re-sell the bull on Mahama doing this and that, but this shows how Ghanaian mentality needs to be re-adjusted. You cannot have high aims for a country and yet accept the mediocre government in place.

Mr. President, admit that the dumsor is finally here. What is the difference between dumsor and the dumsor-like situation? You are a big liar and Ghanaians should hold you accountable for all the monies you and your cronies have taken under the excuse of paying more for the power barges and for improved electricity. What did you do with our money? Mr. John Mahama? Please account for the preposterous taxes and bills Ghanaians have had to pay for electricity. For your information, Mr. President, we had had this dumsor - like situation for over three months now. Your cronies have attributed all kinds of explanations to it. And the rates we are paying- astronomical.
Mr. President, whether you lie or not, we are in dumsor and this will really cost your ede bee keke mantra and your seat.

SADA, sole sourcing of contracts, bus branding, etc, etc...... We have a lot of such instances. Ask your President about the EO Group and his role in letting them go scot free as vice president. Is that your view about fighting corruption?
