NPP has no reason to call Mahama incompetent – ​​Prof. Marfo

Professor Charles Ofori Marfo

Former President of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), Professor Charles Ofori Marfo has criticized the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), labeling them as “incompetent”.

His criticism came amid a debate over the issue of ‘dumsor’, a local term for irregular power supply.

Prof. Marfo’s claims were fueled by recent comments by NPP representatives who branded their opponents in the National Democratic Congress (NDC), led by former President John Mahama, as incompetent.

However, he argued that such allegations were not credible and came from a party that, in his opinion, showed similar shortcomings.

“A few days ago I heard their spokesperson say: incompetent Mahama. It sounds so bitter to me because they have shown the same incompetence… a pot should not tell charcoal that it is black… when it comes to this particular issue ( incompetence ) they (NPP) have no reason to call Mahama that because they failed,” oyerepaonline.com quoted him in an interview on April 18, 2024.

Prof. Marfo highlighted the issue of ‘dumsor’, claiming that the nuclear power plant had failed to effectively tackle the problem during its tenure.

He pointed out that during the NDC administration under Mahama, efforts were made to alleviate the electricity crisis, with some members of the NPP acknowledging improvements in power supply.

“We were in some trouble, we wanted our redemption, and mind you, even when they came to power, if they were to be honest with themselves, John Mahama solved the ‘dumsor’ problem. In fact, some of them testified,” he added.
