The Centre for Democratic Mobilisation (CDM) has raised serious questions about governance lapses under the Mahama administration, pointing to the persistent power outages—commonly known as Dumsor—and the mystery surrounding missing ECG containers. In a strongly worded statement, CDM accused the government of failing to ensure transparency and accountability in critical sectors, particularly energy
The Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has sharply criticized the Mahama administration’s failure to resolve Ghana’s ongoing power crisis, warning that “dumsor has returned with alarming intensity.” Despite resuming key infrastructure projects, CDM says the government lacks a credible energy recovery plan.
The group argued that the unresolved issues not only undermined public trust but also reflected deeper structural weaknesses in leadership and oversight. They called for renewed scrutiny into these matters, urging current leaders to avoid similar pitfalls.
Of particular concern is the case of the 1,300 “missing” containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), initially reported lost at the Tema Port but later said to have moved “legitimately.” CDM called the situation “a damning indictment” of the administration’s oversight.
“This is not merely a bureaucratic mishap,” the group said. “It reflects deep systemic rot fueled by weak leadership and a shocking disregard for transparency.”
CDM has called for an immediate forensic audit and prosecution of all involved in the scandal.
Furthermore, CDM condemned the reported move to sell ECG to private interests as a “national security threat.” “Electricity is not a commodity to be surrendered to profit motives. It is a right and a strategic asset,” the movement emphasized.
On Free SHS, CDM criticized the government’s decision to maintain the double-track system until 2027, calling it “a betrayal of campaign promises.”
The organization said more focus should be placed on efficiency and access to social services.
