His statement today follows comments credited to Vice President Bawumia about how the Akufo-Addo government had been seeing to the welfare of Ghanaians during the period of the pandemic. HRH Doe said that save for Mr. Mahama's visionary leadership that executed the Kaporship power plant in Tema in 2016 (which has been providing 26% of all of the country's power needs, where would Ghanaians get the 3-month free power supply from. According to the renowned businessman, the Akufo-Addo administration has only added 2% power to the national grid since it came on in 2016. He also said Mahama did same to the public water supply, listing massive water projects executed by him while in office, that made water supply across the country adequate today. Read his full statement below..
Mr Vice President, You're Aware (And) It's Without Any Question (That) It' Is H.E John Caring Dramani Compassionate Mahama Who Brought The Karporship Power Plant Project To Ghana; Generating 26% Of Ghana's Electricity Needs. I Repeat, 26% Of Ghana's Electricity Needs. It's A Record Unmatched, Perhaps Second Only To Akosombo Dam Project.
The John Mahama Administration In 2014 Signed A 450 Megawatts Contract With Karporship To Deploy A Power Ship To Ghana. The Power Ship Has Been In Operation In Tema, Utilizing HFO, With Deployment To Sekondi Naval Base. The Fuel (Used By This Ship) Is (Already) Switching To Indigenous Natural Gas. (The Project Has) Been A Significant Step Towards Meeting The Eectricity Demands of Ghana’s Population, Businesses And Heavy Industries.
Dear Mr Vice President, You Got Away With Untruth And Fabrications Prior To The 2016 Election Unchallenged. This Is 2020. Everything Is About Facts With Specific Public Records Of Reference. No More Fiction. No More Storytelling.
Mr. Vice, You're Also Aware (That) Till Today, The Akufo-Addo NPP Administration, Which You're The Vice President Has Only Provided (Added) 2% Electricity Generation To Ghana's Grid.
Yes, It Is True (That) The Karporship Power Plant's Delayed Arrival Worsened The Dumsor Situation In 2016. Perhaps, The Dumsor Development (Crisis) May Have Contributed To Mr Mahama's Election Defeat (In 2016).
Mr Vice, You're A Knowledgeable Man. So, You're Aware Of These Facts. Because, The Karporship Power Plant Is A Commonly-Known Public Project. Therefore Any Credit (For The) Free 3 Months Electricity Goes Only To John Mahama's Administration Without Any Question. It's Not Even Anywhere Near A Close Argument.
(And Talking About) Free Water Supply, All The Major Water Projects Were Done Or Completed By John Mahama, Namely; 3k Water Expansion Project Kumawu & Konongo, Kpone Water Project Expansion, Wa Water Project Expansion,Teshie Desalination Plant, Etc. It's A Long List. President Akufo Addo Has Not Completed A Single Major Water Project (Since 2016). So Any Credit (For) Free Water Supply Also Goes To John Mahama. The Truth Matters 100%.
The Monumental Karporship Power Plant Project Took Ghana's Power Generation Capacity To 80%, Second Only To South Africa In Africa. Mr Mahama Also Did The Tico Electricity Expansion Project In Takoradi.
Mr. Vice President, The Truth Matters; End Of Story. Mahama Was God's Sent.
