Speaking on the Point Blank<\/em> segment of Eyewitness News<\/strong>, Karbo said: \u201cNana Akufo-Addo will be at the fore front of this demonstration because he needs to show that it is the concern \u00a0and welfare of Ghanaians that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”P1Ikag3irdj11OotnQlNvRk6xLInWCnf”]Many have called on the party to rather provide alternatives to end the crisis instead of just criticising the government.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Karbo however believes their criticism and planned protest is legitimate since the crisis, according to him, has lasted for three years under the Mahama administration.<\/p>\n \u201cThis crisis has lasted for three years. Some of the handing over notes the NPP gave to the NDC in 2008, didn\u2019t include this electricity crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n Karbo further recalled that the Kufuor administration in 2007, took \u201ccertain measures\u201d when it was faced with similar power challenges.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Kufuor administration did not sit down and ask the NDC to provide alternatives for us in terms of what we needed to do. We knew how to get out of the mess and that is why one of the things that we did was to establish the VRA plant in Tema which gave us a 110 megawatts\u201d<\/p>\n Karbo further chastised government for what he described as delays in completing crucial\u00a0 projects that would have ensured that Ghana\u2019s power generation systems are strengthened.<\/p>\n \u201cAtuabo should have been ended by 2010. This government should have gotten Atuabo up and running but today as we speak Atuabo is not up to full capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n Ghanaians have complained about the crippling power challenges which they say is grinding their businesses<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>to a halt.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Marian Efe Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana![\"Anthony](\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/anthony-karbo.jpg\")
