You are always telling us about this so called energy debt, but had done nothing to collect the monies owed. The last administration mismanaged and pocketed the look, yet no prosecution, no show. We pay a lot of electric bills to ecg, yet we owe. Go and trace all the stolen cash and deal with the culprits. Mahama is too dull and slow. Had given the thieves the opportunity to escape. Too late sirs.

It seems JM didn't get the meaning of the crowd cheering Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso during his inauguration. JM is not dull as some see it. He's damn smart but pretending to be gentle. So long as NPP and NDC remain in our politics, Ghana will know no development. After all, the country has been run by the IMF and World Bank for over 30 years!!

They didn't inherit any debts. Those debts were created by them NDC before handling over to NPP. They claimed that Mahama sloved the energy problems before leaving office, so why are you blaming the NPP for your owns debts that you created through the IPP's that you signed?
Ghana must cough every year 1 billion USD to pay all these IPP's. Akufo did it for 8 years. Now it's your turn, shit in your own mess.

Why negotiate to buy the power in dollars and sell in cedis knowing very well that the cedi is not stable so when the cedi depreciate Govt debt in cedis goes up, the depreciation of the cedi is the main problem

Both NPP and NDC governments have driven this country into debt that cannot be paid for the next 100 years. It’s because the people making such decisions are clueless, inexperienced and corrupt. There is not hope for this country until at least we see people going to prison for life for causing financial loss and corruption.

Words, nothing but words.

The man is in charge for 4 months now. Not one single step towards a solution has been proposed. But we all know the problem is 2 billion USD debt, basically caused by corrupt power supply contracts signed during the first Mahama administration.

Right now those independent power suppliers can blackmail and strangle the government of Ghana any day they like. A deep restructuring of the complete sector is necessary. NOW, not 5 years from now.

NDC has to fix now what they created 10 years ago, Mahama himself has to get involved, because solving this problem is key to all his high flying promises to all of us. The country is waiting, go and perform Mr. President instead of making your brother richer than ever before.

I thought this buffon once said legacy debt is part of our governance structure so why is he complaining. Has he forgotten how much debt they left behind before exiting government in 2017. Mahama also boasted on his campaign tour that he did solve the energy crisis before they left power. The bogus contract they left behind has come back to hunt them. At least Npp managed it better and didn't use propaganda to survive their two term rule. No covid-19

There will always be a problem if you keep using tax payers money to non essential companies you only have x amount of tax and it should go on essential. Sell of non essential government companies let them find their own way and concentrate on the every day essential. Stop the blaming and act. Let's have solutions.

John Jinapor and his government don't get. The ECG challenge has been more about cash flow management from time immemorial. The Akufo-Addo regime equally inherited legacy and Mahama administration debts including the reckless independent power purchase agreements with its 1bn$ cost a year overhang in 2017 but managed the challenge throughout its 8 years in power. The NDC has inherited nothing new and should stop complaining and get on with the job.

We are tired of your constant lamentation and blame game.
You told Ghanaians your party NDC are the best managers of this country.
Instead of John Mahama to concentrate on bread and butter issues, constant supply of electricity etc., he is rather interested in dismissing workers, revoking appointments and suspending the CJ thinking that is what Ghanaians want.
Ghanaians have allowed themselves for these tricksters to deceive them.
How can a failed president in his first be given another opportunity?

This minister Hon. J.Jinapor is the most complained minister in this government. From ECG missing containers to now energy crisis. I thought he could do the work more efficiently than the previous administration. But he has now turn himself to a complainer. We didn't vote for you to come and complain but to solve problems. Looking at the way you were talking in opposition made some of us believe you have better ideas and solutions. But now we don't see those ideas and solutions in your performance. Better do what is expected of you or pack up and go.

Another useless and incompetent Minister who is hiding behind Jinapor/Mahama friendship to deliver nothing...

Containers to debts that is all..
He is gotten his share of the container booty so he is quiet just like Sam George getting his LGBTQ1 dollars then went quiet...

They will both be making good money and just keep on talking....

Others are also well placed to make money from Zoomlion so they are now quiet...

I am saying that the African, especially the Ghanaian, makes noise for the sake of making money then goes quiet....ORAL is quiet

We all know that Addison did wrong at BoG but just a raid to put fear into him, now booty is being discussed then matter die..

The last Gabby Darko party was full of NDC folks... granted...he has NDC friends but.....hmmmmmmmm.

The jury is still out there.....

I foresee energy minister being the first to be sacked. He is not being decisive. He needs to change some leadership and act. This dumsor must not last long like before.

You see as a formal energy minister you knew what was prevailing but chose to do propaganda and now the reality has don on you to fixed it.

When you were in opposition you talked and behaved as if you knew it all.
You're coming out almost every single day even when in committee discussion añd parliament debate is going on you sneak out to come and do your fake press conference to paint your opponent black and let them look bad and incompetent in the sight of Ghanaians.

Now you have gotten all that you wished for just fixed it. After all we didn't vote for you to come and complain.
