Kwame A-Plus, the newly elected Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, has revealed that Ghana is currently experiencing load shedding, popularly known as “dumsor,” a situation that has become a highly contentious issue in the country. The outspoken politician has also called out several influential groups for what he perceives as their silence on the ongoing power outages.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), A-Plus pointed out that Ghana’s institutions and organizations, including the Christian Council, civil society groups like the Danquah Institute, and vocal Akans, are fully aware of the power cuts. However, he claimed that these groups are holding back their comments, waiting for former President John Dramani Mahama to be sworn into office before they mobilize to place the blame on him for the return of dumsor.
“Ghana is currently facing load shedding (dumsor). At the moment, institutions and groups such as the Christian Council, civil society organizations like the Danquah Institute, and vocal Akans are all fully aware that the country is experiencing dumsor due to the incompetence of the overhyped Akufo-Addo administration,” A-Plus wrote on X. He continued, “Yet, they remain silent, patiently waiting for John Mahama to assume office so they can quickly mobilize to declare that he has brought dumsor back.”
A-Plus did not spare the Christian Council, accusing the group of bias and hypocrisy. He implored the council to be more like Christ, who he said was “unbiased and fearless” in speaking the truth, regardless of political affiliation. “Be like Christ – unbiased and fearless. He looked the Pharisees in the eye and told them the truth. Do not reserve your voices only for when the NDC is in power. Speak up now and tell the nation the truth: Ghana is currently experiencing dumsor, and the economy is in bad shape,” A-Plus added in his post.
