 President John Dramani Mahama has expressed alarm over the severity of a looming power crisis as he begins his term in office. 



His concerns were echoed by John Jinapor, the Member of Parliament for Yapei Kusawgu, who highlighted a critical fuel shortage that threatens to plunge Ghana into an energy crisis, commonly referred to as “dumsor.”



During a press briefing following Mahama’s inauguration on January 7, Jinapor revealed that the country’s fuel reserves are alarmingly low, with only five hours of supply remaining. 



He criticized the outgoing administration for failing to secure adequate fuel supplies, leaving the new government in a precarious position.



In a meeting with a delegation from the World Bank, President Mahama underscored the urgent need to address the escalating crisis. 



“The transition has taken place, it’s been smooth and cordial. But there are a few surprises that have come up in respect to the energy sector and some aspects of government decisions over the past seven years.







 However, Ghana has the human resources to deal with the situation and turn things around as quickly as possible,” he stated.



The Institute for Energy Security (IES) has also urged President Mahama to take immediate action to prevent the possibility of widespread power outages.
