The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been given the clearance for its “W\u2184n Gbo” (We are dying) demonstration<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>scheduled for February 18.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”qGzmaDxfXSdGoiPV0I5j0GD5sMU9n93J”]The NPP last week announced plans to stage a\u00a0demonstration over what they described as the worsening power and economic crisis.<\/p>\n

After a meeting with the party, the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander DCOP Christian Tetteh\u00a0Yohuno “We have concluded all security arrangements with the party.”<\/p>\n

Citi News has gathered there were disagreements between the Police and the party over the designated routes to use but the two parties eventually arrived at a consensus.<\/p>\n

The 2016 \u00a0Presidential Candidate for the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo will lead the demonstration<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, according to the\u00a0Deputy Director of Communications for the party, Anthony Karbo.<\/p>\n

\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 Karbo said.<\/p>\n

According to Mr.\u00a0Karbo the NPP’s\u00a0criticism and planned protest is legitimate since the crisis, according to him, has lasted for three years under the Mahama administration.<\/p>\n

When will “Dumsor” end?<\/strong><\/p>\n

President John Mahama has said he remains committed to his promise of ending the power crisis.<\/p>\n

He was speaking at this year\u2019s annual convention of the Saviour Church of Ghana at Osiem in the Eastern region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plans we have for the nation are for the future and not just for today. We have signed agreement with a number of companies that will bring in 3,000 megawatts of power on board.When we add 3,000 megawatts of power to the existing 2,800 megawatts we will have enough for everything,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

It is emerging that the office of the President has expressly directed<\/strong><\/span><\/a> the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) to provide funding or a financial guarantee to support the government\u2019s plans to bring two power barges from Turkey to ease the nation\u2019s power problems.<\/p>\n
