A member of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team,
Hamza Suhuyini has attributed the country’s ongoing power challenges to a lack of strategic investment in the energy sector by the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
Speaking on GHToday on GHOne TV on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Suhuyini argued that the current instability in power supply is a direct consequence of how national resources were managed over the last eight years.
In a sharp critique of the NPP’s tenure, Suhuyini cautioned Ghanaians to be wary of leaders who fail to fulfil infrastructure promises.
“It boils down to how we applied our meager resources in the last eight years,” he said, accusing the past government of ignoring the energy sector to invest in what he termed “most expensive holes in Africa under the guise of building national cathedrals.”
He suggested that the nation’s energy situation would be significantly more robust had the previous government prioritized critical infrastructure over “vanity projects.”
“The Ghanaian people now going forward would be wary of politicians who will make promises and upon assumption of office would fail to invest in the needed infrastructure,” he said.
Suhuyini emphasized that the NDC remains focused on the core issue of governance and the essential task of providing reliable electricity to Ghanaians.
While acknowledging the public’s right to demand accountability based on political promises, he maintained that the current government is committed to rectifying past oversights.
“This is a government that will rise up to the occasion and ensure once again that the needed investments are put in place for the energy sector,” Suhuyini stated.
He noted that these investments are vital to ensuring long-term stability and national development.
He reassured citizens that the NDC’s priority is to fix the underlying structural issues to prevent future recurrences of the power crisis, framing electricity as an “important fibre of our national development.”
