The Executive Director of the Institute for Energy Security, Nana Amoasi VII has over the period has researched and analyzed that the expectations of Ghanaians in the incumbent government led by Nana Akuffo Addo is very high.
In an interview on TV3’s The Key Points program today, May 8, he said that the Nana Addo-led government may have worked so hard to reduce the high pressure on the economy but due to the kind of expectations Ghanaians want to see, his government is always being called on.
He shared his opinion on the government’s response concerning the trending public opinion #FixTheCountry, “One thing the government could have done was to absorb this bullet and say yes, I admit there are these issues to be addressed. We have not been able to handle fuel prices well, over the last four years fuel prices have increased by 70%. I took up 2017 a stable power supply, today, there is an erratic power supply. I admit that there is an inefficiency in the power sector, I admit that the energy sector debt is growing, I admit that there is the smuggling of fuel in the system. Electricity access is not growing”.
“These are the things I am targeted to fix in the next years and these are the plans. However be mindful that I have done these projects as well so where we stand today I require your support as Ghanaians because we are not in good times”. He added.
“This is the position government should have taken but to go against the very people you are supposed to protect and make sure their welfare see positive dimensions is in bad taste.
“They came out with some of the things the government has done but the expectation of the Ghanaian is too high because we all know that we are progressing but the progress is not speeding up in tandem with our expectations so once in a while we will call on the government to order itself.”
