NDC has not shown it can manage power sector effectively — Fiifi Boafo

Fiifi Boafo, former Public Affairs Head at Ghana Cocoa Board, has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for its handling of the country's power sector, which has been plagued by frequent power outages. Speaking on JoyNews' AM Show, Boafo argued that the party has failed to demonstrate the necessary competence to effectively manage the power sector.

He pointed out that electricity is vital to daily life and economic activities, and the recurring outages are causing widespread anxiety among Ghanaians. Boafo questioned the effectiveness of recent measures, such as an additional levy on fuel, and criticized the government for not seeking advice from successful former power sector managers.

He urged the NDC to learn from their predecessors and provide assurance that the recurring power challenges will not persist under their administration.
