Former President, John Mahama has responded to President Akufo-Addo’s claims about the erratic power supply also known as ‘dumsor’.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate said the President must acknowledge that the power supply challenge had been resolved before he [Mahama] handed over power in 2017.

On Monday, November 25 President Akufo-Addo described the former President’s legacy as one characterised by persistent power outages.

He questioned the practicality of the NDC’s proposed 24-Hour Economy policy under Mahama’s leadership.

“If he couldn’t maintain a stable 12-hour power supply when he was in office, how can he promise a 24-hour economy? Stop the lies,” he stated.

But Mr Mahama would have none of that.

“I expect that when NPP is telling lies, they’ll leave it to the younger ones and the junior ones to do. But when the senior ones like Nana Akufo-Addo says that Dumsor was not solved before we came, I heard him say that if we could not keep the lights on, how can we run 24-hour economy. In 2016 dumsor had been solved. Nobody’s lights went off in 2016 nobody had load shedding in 2016 that is on record,” he responded.

Speaking during his tour of the Western Region on Tuesday, Mr Mahama alluded to the bible.

“You know, liars cannot go to heaven. And let me give you a Bible quotation, Proverbs Chapter 19:9, he said, those who bear false witness will not go unpunished and the liars will be destroyed,” he said.

Mr Mahama urged the President to focus on preparing his soul for heaven by refraining from telling what he sees as lies.

“If you lie, you will not go to heaven. At his age, he should be preparing his soul for heaven. So if you stop lying.”

Earlier in the day, the NDC candidate dismissed what he describes as NPP propaganda, assuring new recruits of the Ghana Police Service that they will not face dismissal if he is elected in December.

Mr Mahama accused the NPP of dismissing dozens of police and military personnel recruited in the lead-up to the 2016 election after coming to power.

He also pledged to enhance cocoa and oil production and to revive the rail sector in the Western Region.
