The Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has criticised the government’s handling of the energy crisis, describing it as a reflection of a broader failure in governance.

The organisation stressed that while the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) must be held accountable for its past mismanagement and unfulfilled promises, the focus should be on building a resilient and sustainable energy sector rather than engaging in political blame games.

CDM expressed deep concern over the government’s reactive approach to the crisis, arguing that Ghanaians can no longer endure leadership that is “evasive and incompetent” in addressing critical energy challenges.

“This is not a political debate; it is a national emergency that demands decisive and lasting solutions,” the organisation stated.

It urged policymakers to acknowledge the severity of the crisis and take urgent measures to stabilise the sector.

The movement further demanded that the government abandon excuses and take full responsibility for the current situation.

According to CDM, only bold, transparent, and forward-thinking policies can ensure reliable and affordable energy for all.

“The time for political rhetoric is over; Ghanaians need action now,” the organisation declared, emphasising the need for a clear strategy to restore confidence in the sector.

CDM called on both government and key stakeholders to prioritise long-term energy security over short-term political interests.

It warned that without meaningful reforms, businesses and ordinary citizens would continue to suffer the consequences of policy failures.

The organisation reaffirmed its commitment to holding leadership accountable and advocating for sustainable solutions to Ghana’s energy crisis.
