An aspiring National Women\u2019s Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Hajia Mariam Sinare has described as unfair, criticism against President John Mahama over the low water levels in the Akosombo dam which has contributed to the on-gong power crisis in the country.<\/p>\n

She said the President should not be blamed for the sporadic power cuts in homes and offices.<\/p>\n

Hajia Sinare argued that it is only God that can produce rain for the Akosombo dam and not the President Mahama or the NDC government, insisting that the ruling government is trying hard to make Ghanaians comfortable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NDC government and John Mahama are trying their best. But look at Akosombo, we are not to put water in there; the water is supposed to come from God. So that is our prayer now, for God to bring down his water down for us so that the people of Ghana \u00a0will be happy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The low water levels in the Akosombo dam is also contributing to the\u00a0ongoing power rationing compelling the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to release a load shedding time table<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> to assist the general public to plan their daily activities accordingly.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the\u00a0Point Blank <\/b>segment\u00a0<\/b>on Eye Witness News<\/b> on Friday, Hajia Mariam Sinare insisted that President Mahama has done a lot to improve Ghana’s energy needs compared to previous governments.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cSome villages that have not seen light before in years back, have seen light under the NDC government.\u201d<\/p>\n
