Power Barges Still In Turkey: Yet To Set Sail Due To Money Issues

I wonder how many times a government can break it’s social contract with its citizens before its position can be declared untenable?

Yet the leader of this kangaroo government keeps globetrotting around the globe gathering accolade after accolade?

According to this Citifm report, the power barges which have been widely reported to be on the way to Ghana are actually still berthed in Turkey. And the reason, good old money….

Citifmonline reports…

“The first power barge to produce 225 megawatts of electricity to alleviate the rolling power cuts is yet to set sail to Ghana.

The humongous engineering structure was only moved from the quay after commissioning in order to create space for other bigger vessels to berth at the position the barge was occupying.

Sources in Turkey intimated that as at Monday, 2nd November, 2015, the Ghanaian authorities were seeking partnership for the provision of fuel, on which the power barge would run upon arrival at the fishing harbour’s man- made semi submerged maritime structure, to prevent the barge from drifting to shallow ground.

Investigations revealed that immediately after the commissioning ceremony, a Ghanaian reporter, without further consultation with the authorities, pushed the story that the power barge was on its way to Ghana.

A renowned international bank is said to be ready to facilitate the fuel provision , but are sceptical, hence requesting for a well-rehearsed agreement.”
