Barges alone cannot address power crisis - Energy Expert

The contract terms with regard to the Barges that government intends to bring to augment the country's power generation can make it impossible for the badges to be imported.

An Energy Expert and Member of the NPP, Peter Amewu said this on Radio Ghana's Current Affairs Program, FOCUS, which discussed the NPP's Dumso Demo.

He noted that the Barges alone will not address the power crisis the country is experiencing.

Mr. Amewu however, enumerated some measures that could help solve the problem.

A CPP Deputy Communications Director, Enersto Yeboah said both the NPP and the NDC have failed Ghanaians and therefore the NPP has no moral right to go on the "Dumsor demonstration”.

Mr. Yeboah cautioned that Ghanaians should not be taken for granted. He also talked about the CPP's intended demonstration next week.

A Presidential Staffer and Former MP for Adentan, Kwadwo Adu-Asare said the NPP's demonstration is misplaced since they have been part of the cause of the energy problem facing the country.
