Flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, has promised to solve the recurring problem of dumsor that has plagued the entire four year term of President John Mahama.
The NPP flagbearer in a flurry of tweets Monday afternoon, said that the main problem with the dumsor is financial – the inability of government to pay for gas to power our plants – and promised to fix that underlying issue and thus get rid of dumsor once and for all.
“The dumsor problem is ultimately a financial problem.” the flagbearer wrote.
“I would like to assure you all that we will end DUMSOR by resolving the financial problems facing our utilities. #ChangeIsComing” he added.
The menace of dumsor has been hitting Ghana since 2012, coming on and off. Despite numerous promises, government have failed to eradicate the problem, with the country recently plunged into another debilitating one.
The Mahama government, after claiming to have fixed the problem, is today embarrassed to admit that DUMSOR is still with us.

But the evidence is clear to all of us. We have evidence-based DUMSOR! #ChangeIsComing #AriseForChange
