Deputy Energy Minister-Designate, Richard Gyan-Mensah, has reassured Ghanaians of President John Mahama’s administration’s unwavering commitment to resolving the country’s energy sector crisis.
Speaking to Channel One News after the President’s State of the Nation Address, Gyan-Mensah accused the minority in Parliament of deliberately working to hinder President Mahama’s efforts to end the recurring power outages, commonly known as ‘dumsor.’
He expressed confidence in the major plans being implemented to address the power sector crisis, following his visit to the Energy Ministry after his nomination as Deputy Energy Minister.
“President Mahama presented a clear picture of the challenges he inherited and offered assurances regarding his plans to reset the country,” he stated.
“I heard my colleagues make some remarks, especially regarding the issue of dumsor. This is what I perceive: there was a deliberate plan by the NPP to ensure that President Mahama fails when he came to power.
“I am assuring the people of Ghana that there is so much good work the new NDC administration is going to do for the people of Ghana.”
“This is the fifth State of the Nation Address I have witnessed, and I can boldly say it is the best one ever delivered since I became a Member of Parliament. The President was very straight to the point.
Richard Gyan Mensah, who is also a second-term Member of Parliament for Gomoa West, described the President’s State of the Nation Address as the best he has witnessed in Parliament.
Richard Gyan Mensah was recently nominated by President John Mahama as deputy energy minister. On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, he successfully underwent vetting and is now awaiting swearing-in.
