News item at Ghanaweb dated, June 13th, 2016 reported electricity failure at the Kotoka International Airport. The report is captioned “Dumsor Hits Kotoka International Airport”.

NDC’s incompetence which is manifested in the disgraceful widespread rationing of electricity has risen to its zenith. NDC’s deficiency in this matter is very disgraceful for the nation because the international airport constitutes a major point of contact with the outside world.

In addition, this precarious situation can translate into deactivation of the electric-powered control tower culminating in airplane accidents and tragic loss of lives.

Presidential elections are not too far from now. For those people who keep voting for the incompetent NDC party, picture yourselves or loved ones in an airplane hovering over Accra, in which the crew is unable to communicate with the control tower due to electricity failure at the airport. Then question yourselves what your fate could be in such scenario.

You could be putting your lives on line by continuing to vote to put these incompetent NDC dimwits in control of the nation.

The story as reported by Ghanaweb shows that the NDC dimwits do not even have backup electricity generators to accommodate the unexpected. Back-up electricity generators seem reasonable requirements for any international airport.
