Member of Parliament for Akuapim North, Sammi Awuku, has stated that Ghana was not experiencing power outages at the time the previous administration handed over power.
Speaking on UTV in Accra, he maintained that the NPP left behind a stable power sector, despite occasional challenges during their time in office.
According to him, while there were instances of power interruptions over the years, the government consistently focused on resolving them rather than making excuses.
“I’m not saying there were no outages in the eight years, but we always found solutions instead of excuses,” he said.
Mr Awuku expressed concern over the current power situation, noting that it is having serious effects on livelihoods and education.
He explained that businesses, especially small-scale ones, are being negatively impacted, while students preparing for the Basic Education Certificate Examination are also facing challenges due to unreliable electricity supply.
He added that parents are increasingly worried as their children struggle to study in the absence of stable power, even as examinations approach.
Mr Awuku stressed that the issue should not be politicised, urging government to treat the situation with urgency due to its implications for the future of young people.
