The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Clement Abas Apaak, has criticized the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia-led government for its denial of the ongoing dumsor crisis plaguing Ghana.

The MP's statement comes amidst widespread frustration among Ghanaians over persistent, irregular, and unpredictable electric power outages.

In a post on X, the MP denounced the government's attempt to downplay the severity of the situation, labelling it shameless.

"GIVE US A DUMSOR TIMETABLE: The shameless attempt to deny the presence of the current self-evident DUMSOR is a very idiotic strategy by this failed Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP gov't. Is Dumsor (Akan pronunciation: [dum sɔ] 'off and on') not defined as a persistent, irregular, and unpredictable electric power outage? Is this not what Ghanaians are experiencing? How can the ECG and government officials tell Ghanaians there is no DUMSOR when Ghanaians live and feel it?

"Rather than do the needful by giving us a load management timetable so that Ghanaians can plan, ECG has resorted to barefaced lies in an infantile attempt to cover up. The PURC must be highly commended for boldly exposing this prevaricating government and its appointees on the ECG board. This disregard for Ghanaians and the laws of the land are additional reasons why Ghanaians must vote out the NPP in the national polls later this year," he shared on X.

Below is his post.
