Hurray. Months are trickling into days and soon into last minutes for Akufo Addo and his incompetent wastage to leave our party for us to overhaul, cleanse, and rebrand it. We don't care about how much the new update software will cost us in, formating, rebooting to default settings, and reinstalling better and competent ideologically sensible managers to retort our lost reputation.

How did Mahama bring dumsor to Ghana? There was inadequate power generation to meet demand due to increased to access through rural electrification drive by the then government. As a responsible government, former Prez Mahama accepted the responsibility and took bold steps to expand power generation. Power plants were brought in to resolve the crisis. We admit that the procurement of the power plants took awhile but eventually dumsor was resolved before 2016 elections. All those blaming former Prez Mahama are wicked and hypocrites. God is punishing us for ungrateful behaviour towards former Prez Mahama.

Not sure how you have reached this conclusion but probably the same logic ECG are using to claim there's no Dumsor. The very definition of Dumsor is as a consumer if I cannot turn a light on in my home or business that is Dumsor. No supply for whatever length of time equals Dumsor.
Their excuse about upgrading their equipment etc. Is another mockery. In developed countries you, ECG are required by law to provide alternative supply and to compensate your consumers if you fail to do so.
How many of the ECG management have resigned as a result of the total chaos? They all will continue shamelessly drawing their fat pay cheques because we are in Africa not Europe. Absolutely incredible.
Our leaders are all so proud of their gross incompetence and opposition politicians are dumb and standing by to repeat the same old nonsense time and time again. Incredible.

If Mahama increased electricity that much, how did the country suffer from dumsor? Your analysis lacks logic. No matter how you folks try to market JDM, as the saying goes, a decorated donkey is still an ass.

The future of Ghana is in your hands and not the old people. Every Ghanaian youth must join hands with the farmers in demonstration and mount pressure on the government to cancel every GMO food crop contract and return those poisonous seeds to the wicked and eviil white man. These modern days when people everywhere are trying to eat healthy and organic food crops, the immoral and evil white man is going around looking for people to kill and destroy with laboratory food. The African Union must have a super sensitive human rights exploitation watchdog in other to combat against the West, the evil white man from sabotaging the future generations of Africa. Ghana must rise up and say no to GMO food crops because the time to save the future is right now! The Ghanaian FDA must also run a thorough investigation into every toothpaste in Ghana. If possible, pause the importation of toothpastes and produce your own. Don't just accept any so called international standard consumable products from the evil white man because his only aim is to destroy you for his own.

Yep facts. True documented facts! Truth is truth. No matter what, Mahama did worse than nana Addo. He run Ghana in normal stable global economic times,yet he collapsed our economy and took us to imf. He is the worse president ever that Ghana was unfortunate to have. That his face trying to look innocent and babyish,whilst he spews lies can never fool some of us. Just look into his eyes and you see the eyes of an evil snake. He collapsed everything. First time schools didn't see their supply of common cheap chalk. Collapsed nhis,ECG,water works, trainee allowances,keot increasing petrol when there was no world crisis due to any war,paid workers govt owed three years salary only three months,gh students abroad on scholarships were stranded and embarrassed etc etc. This empty headed liar is what useless ndc had to go re-elect as their presidential candidate? What do you visionless people want from Ghana? Couldn't you have picked a sensible man full of vision like Duffour. Instead you go bring this disappointment to come squeeze our livelihood again. Ah!

Why must we always engage in such senseless point scoring analysis? Did we not agree as a nation that because of the panic to address dumsor the Mahama administration actually wantonly entered into multiple senseless power production agreements that led to over capacity that saddled the country with take it pay burdens? If so, why would there have been any need to add more capacity?

It is sad that such a so called academic paper would miss this basic logic and engage in an obviously partisan exercise. Sad indeed that such intellectual mediocrity is being entertained.

Who are the fools at IES who are this ignorant to not understand or interpret data in context? I say the people, particularly the senior staff at IES are dumb without apologies or hesitation. This is not NDC Vs NPP but intellectual logical reasoning versus intellectual dishonesty. If Mahama spends even US$ 1 billion to meet the electricity needs of Ghana, taxes/ revenues have to be raised or imposed to get the $ 1 billion paid off. The taxes/ revenues imposed thereafter have to be justified and Akufo-Addo era electricity rates have to be justified. You guys and gals at IES are just plain dumb.
