<\/a>The President in a bid to solve the crisis appointed a Power Minister<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to solely deal with Ghana\u2019s power problems while emergencies measures are being put in place to bring relief to Ghanaians.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, the outspoken Rev. Professor Martey last week chastised the Mahama government for woefully failing to solve the problem years after the matter reared its head.<\/p>\n He mentioned that if he were the President of Ghana, he would have resolved the crisis within a period of three months.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cGhana is not a big country for you to take one year to solve this problem. Four months you can solve it \u2013 at most six months. Last I was telling my people that if I were in charge within three months I\u2019ll solve the problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Despite the backlash he received from sections of the public following his remarks, there were some suggestions that he should be made the Power Minister to prove his worth.<\/p>\n But speaking on Radio Gold on Saturday, Pratt Jnr vehemently disagreed with such suggestions, indicating that \u201cif the government wants to fall, it should employ people like Rev. Martey as Ministers and it will collapse very, very quickly and indeed, Rev. Martey\u2019s wishes will be fulfilled much faster if people like him are made Ministers in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n He was of the view that Rev Martey is \u201ccertainly not a plus for the Mahama administration.\u201d<\/p>\n Pratt Jnr expressed utter shock at the level of insults the leader of the Presby Church could hurl at the President of his country.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cThe level of insults\u2026I have to be careful not to sound like him because I don\u2019t want to be like him. He is not my model in anyway but the level of depravity, the level of insults and so on and the poverty of analysis clearly shows that Rev Martey cannot be a Minister.\u201d<\/p>\n He begged President John Mahama \u201cnever to make the mistake of employing somebody like Rev Martey as Minister. In any case, giving the complication of the energy crisis, it\u2019s not a small matter \u2013 it\u2019s a very complicated matter.\u201d<\/p>\n Kwesi Pratt Jnr who is also a member of the Socialist Forum on the same platform was very certain that the Presby Moderator was just playing to the gallery therefore, \u201cthe energy resources of a country should not be left in the hands of those who will play to the gallery.\u201d<\/p>\n He wondered how some Ghanaians will consider Rev. Martey as a man who speaks for God saying, \u201cI\u2019m sure some people in this country probably believe that Rev Martey and so on are men of God and that they speak for God. How they come to that conclusion, I don\u2019t know but I will be very surprised if God will use the kind of intemperate language that Rev. Martey uses.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
