Honesty, they always tell us, is the best policy. And while that has never been the strong suit of most politicians the government of John Mahama just love taking dishonesty to absurd levels.
Forget the myriad of promises made about solving the power crisis that never materialise, the story of emergency power barges that has been in the news for months now is set to go on for just a little while longer.
For a long time we were told by government that the barges were on the high seas, and that they would arrive in Ghana by April. People started raising some concerns but government remained firm the emergency relief would be in Ghana by end of April.
Things started to unravel when April was almost over and there was no sign of any barges. A fact finding mission by some Members of Parliament discovered disturbing news, that the barges were still under construction and there was no way they would hit Ghana anytime within the next four months.
