The Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has told the Deputy Energy and Green Transition Minister-Designate Richard Gyan-Mensah to be bold and carry out reforms in the energy sector.
Using his personal experience, Afenyo-Mrakin told the nominee that there are people within the system who will deliberately frustrate reform efforts in key institutions. "I tried to reform Ghana Water, and I rather became the victim.
It makes me sad as a politician because we don't support each other for real reforms," he lamented.
He bemoaned the recurring pattern where bold reformers face resistance from vested interests, leading to stagnation and inefficiencies that persist across successive governments.
