Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also referred to as NAPO, has come under fire from private attorney Martin Kpebu for his comments encouraging Ghanaians to create their own schedule for the current power outages and for not apologizing for them.
Kpebu denounced Prempeh’s conduct in an interview with Eyewitness News on April 19, 2024, saying that they were a disservice to the Ghanaian people who had supported him because of his earlier remarks.
What he said:
“I am still extremely angry at Matthew Opoku Prempeh that we pay him with the taxpayers’ money and he was that disrespectful when he was asked for a ‘dumsor’ timetable and he told the journalist that we should get our time table.
“The tone and everything were so disrespectful. I was like is it the Matthew Opoku Prempeh who was trying to vote in 2016 and was exaggerating the economic hardship in Ghana when he said people were using more than 50% of their income to pay electricity bills? Yet, we supported him because JM’s performance was so abysmal.
“Little did we know that JM is a better person than Akufo-Addo and Bawumia. So, Opoku Prempeh owes Ghanaians an apology and we cannot continue to pay him as he disrespects us. He must hear and had to come out and render ran unqualified to us as citizens,”
