Is Ghana supplying electricity to Nigeria? - Kabila asks

A former National Youth Organiser of the Convention People's Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh Jnr. has hinted that despite the electricity crisis Ghana is still supplying neighbouring Nigeria with power.

Kabila as he is affectionately called says he believes the allegation is untrue but if otherwise, heads must roll at the energy sector.

“I don’t want to believe it is true. Is it true that despite the limited power that we are generating here in Ghana; we still divert some to Nigerian because their president [Goodluck Jonathan] wants to win election? I just believe this will be a hoax,” he said on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo.

Government is working with the Electricity Company of Ghana as well as other entities in an effort to improving the infrastructure and add more megawatts to the country’s power grid before next year.

But Kabila insists the Minister of Energy and Petroleum, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah must be fired if the president really wants to do enough to help solve the power problem.

“If the president is really serious about solving the energy situation in this country, then he [Kofi Buah] shouldn’t be at post. He should be sacked to pave the way for a better person with vision. He has less knowledge about energy,” he fumed.
