All his short political career undone because he refuse to be honourable like appiah Kubi and joins the bootlickers. We are smarter than you, you are not the only one who went to school.

It's so sad we have ANIMALS in human skin. Mahama is saying that there is a debt but he didn't say it is from NPP government because he knows that it's from NDC government. Dr Amin has just explained what we all know but illiterate NDC ANIMALS are insulting him. They don't have the human brains to know that Mahama and Ato Forson want to punish Ghanaians with this bogus Dumsor levy. They have already increased electricity tariffs by 14% with the same reason. Who is fooling who? And smelly NDC ANIMALS in human skin are rather blaming and insulting Dr. Amin instead of telling Mahama that he is an ARMED ROBBER.

The problem is government's failure to communicate to Ghanaians properly on this increase, this is called the Energy Sector Levy Act estasblished in 2015. One of its components is the Energy Sector Debt Recovery Levy. The Energy Sector Levy Act (ESLA) was established in 2015 when the generational power crises had reached it peak. President John Mahama at that time decided to solve the inherited energy debt from past governments completely, through the ESLA. President John Mahama further established the Atuboase Gas Plant and Ameri Power Plant to help augment the ESLA to control the power crises then. The NPP after assuming power in 2017, depleted the Energy Sector Levy Act (ESLA) fund and left power with $4billion debt in the Energy Sector. Before they left power fuel prices had escalated, the dollar to cedi was high and taxes on electricity products were unstable. NDC came to power and within 5months reduced the dollar rate, decreased fuel prices, which has affected reduction of goods significantly and is now mobilising funds for the ESLA to clear the artificial debt NPP left and they the NPP have still gone haywire about this. Dr. Mohammed Amin Adams, is supposed to answer questions on how the NPP managed the ESLA from 2017 to 2025, since the Finance Ministry's report seems to suggest the NPP made 42.2billion cedis equivalent to $4billion so where is that money and why that money could not still settle that debt?

The type of character of the guys in Npp and their likes in Africa is the reason democracy can't work . This talk let me talks works when parties have at least a minimal levels of truth, honesty, integrity ,responsibility just as low as trained domesticated dogs.

But not with Npp guys nothing is their fault and accountable to no one. Because talk let me talk too is 100% party correctness first ,politics to win elections at all cost second and exploitation of the loop holes in the laws with their judges to escape the consequence of their crimes the third.

They have been around through their fathers the UP guys before independence till date derailing the Osagyfo's Ghana first development train.
The Civilians led Revolution to save Ghana and Africa from its perpetual servitude to the world especially the West for it to develop has its biggest and greatest internal hurdle in whitish minded black imperialist elite groups of the kinds of Npp and UP ideologies.

This hurdle can never be overcomed with multi party divisive and toxic democracy of the kind the West pushes and sponsor with parties of the kinds of UP and Npp spread across so called democratic African countries.
Npp are masters of the Western multi party divisive and toxic democracy.
Ghana has a party currently in power that is trying so very hard to make a case for a good democratic governance but the DNA of Npp is working overtime to kill every effort made by JM to save the reasons for the last test and chance for good democracy !! If JM fails no chance again for multi party Western type Democracy in Africa

It was the NDC government that signed numerous and unnecessary "take or pay " power purchased agreement between 2012 to 2016 and then left the scene in 2016. Ghanaians should ask this NDC government why they saddled the State with the unnecessary take or pay power purchased agreement. After 8 years, NDC has come back to power to face the useless power purchase agreement they signed in the past.. It was this same Abu Jinapor who was defending the power purchase agreement they signed and now they can't pay the debts. Clueless NDC politicians and government
