The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Authority, Mary Awusi, has alleged that the reported fire at the Akosombo substation in the Eastern Region was orchestrated by some elements within the New Patriotic Party.
Her remarks come in the wake of calls by the Minority in Parliament for President John Dramani Mahama to dismiss the Minister for Energy and Green Transition over ongoing power challenges.
Speaking on The Citizen Show with Nana Yaw Darko on Accra 100.5 FM on Thursday, Dr Awusi claimed that prior to the National Democratic Congress assuming office, some members of the NPP had predicted possible power outages.
According to her, those statements suggest prior knowledge of developments within the energy sector, which she believes may have been deliberately engineered to undermine the current administration.
Dr Awusi described the situation as a calculated attempt to sabotage the government and link it to the return of “dumsor,” a term widely used to describe persistent power outages in Ghana.
She, however, urged the public to remain calm and patient, assuring that government is taking steps to stabilise the power situation in the coming days.

That fire at Akosombo wasn't the only intentional arson attack to make Mahama's government unpopular. All the markets that were engulfed by fire throughout the country were intentionally set on fire. This should tell Ghanaians how wicked people can be without any regard for Ghanaians or the country, yet those responsible want power to rule Ghana. May God forbid this should never happen, and it will not happen.
