"...This is the shameless hypocrisy of our government. When our next-door neighbour’s house was on fire, the government said we should mind our own business. But when a distant “friend” desperately wants to fulfill a political promise, our government endangers the lives of its citizens and explains that we are members of the international community..."

NEWS: Why I resigned; Ghana's Power Minister.

Why I resigned: Ghana's Power Minister.

Read the content of Ghana's Power Minister, Dr. Kwabena Donkor's resignation letter to President John Dramani Mahama below;

Your Excellency,

I write to inform you that, consistent with the pledge I made to the Ghanaian people, I intend to vacate the office of minister of Power with effect from the close of business tomorrow 31st December, 2015.

It has been an immense privilege to serve you and the people of Ghana in the high office of Cabinet Minister.

Just over a year ago, on 19th December, 2014, while our country was going through a critical power shortage, you swore me into office as Minister of Power. Following a question at a press briefing on Monday, 2nd February 2015, I pledged that if I were unable to end the load shedding by the end of the year, I would quit my position.

Since my appointment, I have led a team of dedicated officials that [have] laboured to install additional generation to the national power grid. The Karpower project has added 230MW to the national grid. We also applied ourselves to stabilize the finances of the power utilities, especially VRA. We are assured that with new tariffs in place, VRA will be able to import crude oil for its thermal generation plants without direct Government intervention and support.

My team has thus practically brought an end to the load shedding that has disrupted the lives of the citizens of our dear country.

But we need to complete a few details in the next few weeks to bring a final end to load shedding. I refer to the imminent commencement of power generation by the AMERI plant that will ensure that supply consistently out scripts demand, thus bringing load shedding to a definitive end.

But that formal event is still a few weeks away. This means that technically I have not met my promise to end load shedding by the end of 2015.

It is a principle of public service I cherish, that a solemn promise must be scrupulously kept. That explains why I do not intend to use the substantial improvement in the power situation as a reason to disavow my pledge.

Mr President, I know that with your leadership this country will be safe and continue to make progress. I pledge my support to you and will be willing to put my considerable experience of public service available to the people of this country in whatever way it may benefit the country I love very much.

Signed
Dr Kwabena Donkor

In Words:Ex-Gitmo Prisoners allay the fears of Ghanaians.

 
State media, the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation on Monday interviewed one of the two Yemini Ex-Guantanamo Bay prisoners, Mahmud Bin Atef on Uniiq FM.

"In the name of Allah, we want to thank the president and the good people of Ghana for [their] decision...they made for accepting us.

We have been wrongly arrested for 14 years without any charge against us. We have suffered but we are not looking for revenge because we are not bitter. We want to live in Ghana in quiet and peacefully. And we want to put our lives together.

We couldn't go back to our country because [of] the conflict situation there. We hope and we will [conform] to [go] back again to our country.

And we are heavy for the warm reception that Ghana is known for. And we are looking for [a] very normal, good life and also I like Ghanaian people. They are very very good people and they are very polite.

I was very exciting[ted] when [they] came to tell me that okay I was going to go to Ghana. We [were] very exciting[ted].

We know some things about Ghana. First of all Asamoah Gyan. We know him. We like him very much. Not just us. Most of [the] people they like him. Other detainees they like Ghanaians.

As I [taught] someone here at 2010...the World Cup...I can say all of us, we were with Ghana..."
