Former Deputy Power Minister, John Abdulai Jinapor has called on Parliament to summon power sector players to account for recent intermittent power outage experienced nationwide.
According to the Yapei-Kusawgu MP, the actions of stakeholders in the energy sector have left the sector in disarray, therefore the need for Parliament to ascertain the facts on Ghana’s power supply.
“It is obvious the energy sector is in disarray and I think that this is the time for Parliament to step in. It is Parliament’s job to ensure that we serve the people. We must hold the institutions accountable.”
Speaking to Evans Mensah on Top Story, John Abdulai Jinapor revealed that he is writing to the Chairman of Parliament’s Mines and Energy Committee to demand clarity from the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) and Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) on their responsibilities to provide uninterrupted power supply.
The President of the Republic, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo-Addo has been deserted by two of his able-bodied lieutenants.
At the presidency, two of his hardworking deputy Chiefs of Staff, Mr. Francis Asenso Boakye, and Lawyer Samuel Abu Jinapor vied for Parliamentary seats in the Ashanti and Savannah Regions.
The two gentlemen who were appointed as deputies to Madam Akosua Frema Opare as Chief of Staff in 2017, by Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo-Addo have decided to be in Parliament instead of the Jubilee House this time around.
To begin with, Mr. Francis Asenso Boakye retained the Bantama seat in the Ashanti Region for the ruling New Patriotic Party.
