Energy and Green Transition Minister John Jinapor has taken a firm stance against recent suggestions that his commentary before Parliament amounted to grumbling, insisting that his remarks were rooted in transparent leadership and a commitment to solutions-not complaints. "I understand grumbling very well, and I don't think that when you appear before a committee and you present facts, they term that as grumbling.

Jinapor's remarks were in response to critiques following his appearance before a parliamentary committee, where he outlined the power sector's operational realities and outlined efforts to stabilize supply.

"The facts are that Karpowership threatened to shut down, and we resolved the matter; that is not grumbling, that is solving the problem.
