Former Deputy Minister for Energy, Collins Adomako Mensah, has criticized the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, for his persistent reminders about the struggling state of the Energy Sector.
According to Adomako Mensah, while the challenges in the energy sector are undeniable, Ghanaians are more interested in practical solutions than repeated discussions about the problems.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Friday, March 7, he emphasized that the difficulties within the Energy Sector are well known, making it unnecessary to continuously highlight them.
“I think we are three months past the election, and today, as we speak, is the 7th of March. My very good friend and brother, Mr John Jinapor, should change his strategy and focus on fixing the problem instead of always going back and giving us a history of the energy sector’s challenges. Everybody knows there are issues within the sector,” he said.
His remarks came in response to concerns raised by John Jinapor, who described Ghana’s energy sector as “bleeding” and in urgent need of intervention.
During a press conference on March 7, 2025, Jinapor outlined the sector’s severe challenges, including frequent power outages, rising energy costs, and financial instability among energy providers.
