Former President John Agyekum Kufour has urged President John Mahama to seek help from Ghana’s neighbours in his efforts to solve the current water and power crises.He said it is important for President Mahama to demonstrate leadership by exploring all available options as he struggles to resolve the crisis.Over the last six months, Ghanaians have endured cripplingly erratic supplies of electricity and water. The president has projected several dates for a return to regular power provision, but each time a deadline has come and gone, the problem has remained.The crisis deepened recently as utility service providers announced an intensified rationing programme over the next few weeks.Mr Kufuor, who was speaking on Accra-based radio station Hot FM Monday, said the president could go beyond assurances and do more to ensure a lasting solution to the problem.For instance, he related, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf once sought Ghana’s help in tackling a power crisis that hit her country after the Liberian war.He also recalled personally going to Nigeria to ‘beg’ former President Olusegun Obasanjo to continue supplying the nation with crude oil to avert what would have been a major power crisis when the Nigerian government stopped supplying oil to Ghana.He therefore urged President Mahama to seek help from neigbouring countries in the hopes that such a move would yield a quick solution to the current crisis and bring relief to the people.
