The debate on the energy crisis resumed in Parliament on Wednesday but as expected both sides relapsed into the acrimonious manner in which they first began the debate. The Majority accused the previous NDC administration of failing to address the lapses in the system that led to the current crisis. But this was challenged by the Minority who refused to allow the accusations to pass. The Interior Minister Albert Kan Dapaah was the only person who made a submission on the debate. Mr Dapaah, who began his submission last week when the debate started, was barely into his submission when Minority Spokesperson on Energy, Mr Moses Asaga rose to question why the Interior Minister was allowed to continue with his submission. However the Second Deputy Speaker, Malik Alhassan Yakubu permitted the minister to finish his submission explaining that it was only fair to allow him to conclude his remarks. Mr Dapaah attributed the current crisis to the loss of the storage capability of the reservoir during the NDC regime in 1997. According to him the situation arose because by 1997, hydro production had exceeded energy capability by 42 percent. But this generated controversy on the floor as members of the Minority challenged the statistics he provided. The debate became almost uncontrollable as members of both sides shouted at each other and prevented their colleagues from making their interventions. The Speaker had to pound his gavel several times to maintain some order on the floor. The debate was called off after the Deputy Majority Leader, Mr Abraham Osei Aidoo proposed the adjournment of the proceedings, although some members of both sides insisted on continuing the debate.
