NPP’S RESPONSE TO NDC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE’S PRESS CONFERENCE ON THE ENERGY CRISIS

The office of Professor John Evans Atta Mills has taken notice of the hurriedly put together press conference by the NPP to respond to the NDC Presidential Candidate’s cogent analysis of the current energy crisis as well as his suggestions for the way forward.

It is extremely regrettable, the posturing of Energy Minister, Joseph Adda, especially as regards the NPP’s throwing away of the NDC’s preparedness to help examine the issues from a nationalistic and wholistic perspective.

Professor Mills stands by the facts and figures he put out at his Press Conference on April 04, 2006, and would not be drawn into any unnecessary war of words that will divert attention away from the core issue of getting the country out of the darkness.

Ghanaians want the crippling and suffocating energy crisis they are saddled with to be solved by President Kufuor and his NPP government without delay, and would certainly be pleased if they are spared the political rhetoric, and insincere timelines that continue to be set.

It is electricity the people of Ghana need and President Kufuor and his NPP government must stop the talk and walk the walk.
