He added that the Mills-Mahama administration, by December 2012, had 2,885MW and 4,132MW in-store capacity by January 2017 when the Akufo-Addo administration took over. Mr Mutawakilu added that Dr Bawumia had admitted about four years ago that Mr Mahama solved the power crisis when he, Dr Bawumia, then a vice-presidential candidate, made comments suggesting that Mr Mahama, as president, should be praised for solving 'dumsor' as it was his responsibility. Didn't the President have consultation with them about a month ago when he made the promise?” Mr Mutawakilu questioned.
