Recently, Ghanaians found out the hugely anticipated power barges that were promised by this government would arrive by the end of April were actually still under construction.
I took a little time in that article to direct a few words of ire towards this government of John Mahama and his cronies. Government’s in the past have made promises and failed to keep them, it’s something that comes with the territory; but no government has made so many promises and glossed over their failure to fulfil them as apathetically as this government.
Especially in regards to ‘dumsor’. Besides the power barges, there has been many numerous promises of this sort. Surprisingly, they all pass, nothing happens, and Ghanaians continue like nothing ever happened in the first place.
Because this power crisis has been with us for a while, 3 years and counting, this cycle of almost pathological lying must have been with us for a while as well. And actually, it has. As the video at the end of this article proves, President Mahama promised, categorically, that dumsor would be a thing of the past by 2013.
