The energy sector is arguably the most important sector in Ghana's economy; as such, the sector's minister, , who is the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, is expected to be under a lot of pressure, particularly when it comes to keeping the country's power on.
Jinapor, in just a few months of his reign as energy minister, has made what could be described as controversial pronouncements or actions, which have often led to confusion among stakeholders in the energy sector.
These statements or actions were in relation to the country's ability to generate power and the country's power distributor, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), that either ended up not being true or warranted clarifications.
The minister has been called out for these actions by a faction of the public who have accused him of complaining and shifting blame on issues he has been appointed to fix.
