Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu

‘Pressor Pressor’ looms under Akufo-Addo – Haruna Iddrisu
Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu has coined a new
phrase for ‘dumsor’, ‘pressor pressor’,
which means “on and off” to taunt government
for the erratic power situation being experienced
across the country.

Wrapping up the Minority’s debate on President
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s maiden State of
the Nation address in parliament on Wednesday, 1
March, the Tamale South legislator said the
challenges in the energy sector were far from
resolved.

“‘Dumsor’ has become part of some dictionary
but Mr Speaker very soon we’ll have ‘pressor
pressor’ in Ghana,” he stated.

According to him, the Minority will monitor
government to make sure they have no excuse to
plunge the country into darkness because the NDC
invested more in the sector.

“Mr Speaker, only a few months ago, the Ghanaian
people, when there was ‘dumsor’, were told it
was [as a result of] incompetence [but] today it
is financial and technical difficulties. It can
only be in the thinking of the New Patriotic
Party. Few weeks and few months ago when there
were outages, we could not explain that it was as
a result of technical and financial difficulties.
Today, they want to hide under that shadow and say
that they are competent. We will monitor and
evaluate their competence in ensuring energy
security for our country,” the lawmaker noted
adding: “Mr Speaker, let it be said that no
government in the history of Ghana has invested in
the energy infrastructure more than the NDC
government.”
