Former Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has said the comment made by Yaw Osafo-Maafo to the effect that only the Minister of Energy can order for the publication of a ‘Dumsor’ timetable is meant to scuttle the chances of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh in the NPP running mate search.
According to Bernard Mornah, the ‘Akyem mafia’ in the NPP is highly against the energy minister for blocking their shady deals in government.
“Why would Osafo-Maafo say this at this material point in time? I think it is meant to scuttle the chances of the energy minister in the running mate agenda because they don’t like him,” he said.
He continued, “Clearly the likes of Osafo-Maafo want to shift the blame on Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh just because he is in contention in the NPP running mate agenda. For me, there is a higher authority and that higher authority is not Matthew Opoku Prempeh.”
Mornah’s response comes on the back of calls by the Senior Advisor to the President, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, on the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, to publish a load-shedding timetable and same from the Executive Director of IES, Nana Amoasi, for the minister to be removed.
Speaking on TV3’s New Day with Berla Mundi, Bernard Mornah further rubbished the blame on the energy minister, saying they are not in good faith.
