Dumsor: Opoku Prempeh not in charge of energy sector – Minority alleges

The Minority in Parliament has accused Energy Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh of lacking control over his Ministry.

Senior Presidential Advisor, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, emphasized that as the overseer of the energy generation process, it is the Energy Minister’s responsibility to authorize the timetable’s release.

He highlighted a contrast between the Minister’s actions and his prescribed duties, suggesting the loss of control over ongoing events.

“I know the fact that he is not fully in control of the power and the ECG so, he is somehow afraid to come out to say anything which might not be the case.

There is a disconnect between what the minister does and what he is instructed to do

And so he is kind of out of control of whatever events are taking place.

“I think that the direct impact is that the minister is not confident enough to come out to direct the ECG to do a timetable because he is not in charge
