We start with…SMDH!
First of all, what does the NDC MP of Lower Manya Krobo, Ebenezer Teye Larbi mean by saying; Ghanaians should rather invest their “energies into thinking” outside the box than lamenting over the impact of the power crisis?
And again, if someone cannot afford basic household electrical gadgets such as air conditions and fridges, has the person not gotten a bulb in his or her house to at least feel the effect of Dumsor? What about the children who have no light to study or even to iron their clothes? At least for basic iron, the poor can afford and as such they still feel ‘Dumsor’ right?
Anyway, why are these people poor in the first place? Because of how your government and people like you are running the country—and have failed to empower these people to step out of poverty.
Some of our leaders are just……
Via Adomfm;
National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Lower Manya Krobo, Ebenezer Teye Larbi says he is surprised at the exaggeration given to the effects of Ghana’s energy crisis.
His shock, he said, stems from the fact that it is persons who cannot afford basic household electrical gadgets such as air conditions and fridges who are rather exaggerating the effects of the crisis.
The effects of Dumsor are “exaggerated by people who cannot afford to buy fridges or air conditions in their homes,” he said.
The NDC Legislator who was reacting to cries on the government to end the crisis on Asempa FM’s Ekosii FM programme further called on Ghanaians to rather invest their “energies into thinking” outside the box than lamenting over the impact of the power crisis.
NPP’s Director of communications, Nana Akomea who was on the show blamed the Mahama-led administration for worsening the plight of Ghanaians by failing to address the power crisis.
But in a quick rebuttal, Mr. Teye Larbi said the NPP is rather creating a mountain out of an anthill for political expediency.
In his view, the current power crisis is better than what the country went through in 1983.
Instead of lamenting on the non-existent impact of the dumsor, the Lower Manya Krobo urged Ghanaians to be smart.
“Lets invest our energies in thinking about how to be smart in the dumsor. The effects of dumsor have been over flogged,” he stressed.
Ebenezer Teye Larbi said the dumsor crisis will ease in August because Mahama-led administration is working assiduously to fix the problem.
And this person is called a legislator? When i look at him it becomes so clear what is wrong with Ghana. We elect unlearned square pegs into round holes based on tribalistic sentiments and a pervasive inferiority complex. It is ovious this man has no clue about good governance, macro and micro economics because he would have realized that this crisis is very dire to our already weakened economy. And those in government who are shamelessly blaming the electorates for the problems they have caused should also realize that “smart” governments which also “think outside the box” do not plunge the entire nation into this crisis. I hate the politicization of this dumsor crisis. And until the people of Ghana smarten up and realize that Ghana is above their sense of tribal affliation, we will have idiots like these speaking trash to the populace without any repercussions.
You said it all.!!
That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard… of course they can’t afford air cons and other things you waste your money on because they are poor… poor as a result of thievery in your ranks… sigh sad what you Ghanaians are going through and truth be told when akufo addo takes over he’s going to do just as much… y’all need a french style revolution to Purge yourselves of this sickness
