Energy Minister on top of power issues; Call by IES’s Nana Amoasi for his removal borne out of ignorance – Kofi Abrefa Afena
The Spokesperson for the Energy Minister, Kofi Abrefa Afena, has dismissed the call by the Executive Director of the Institute of Energy Security (IES), Nana Amoasi, for Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh to be removed due to the challenges in the power sector.
He described the call as one that is borne out of ignorance. According to Mr. Abrefa Afena, it is false for the IES boss to say that the Minister is out of the touch with the realities.
Results-oriented
Mr. Abrefa Afena stated: “Dr. Prempeh is not the talk too much type but believes in results.
“Nana Amoasi has no idea of the sleepless nights of the Minister aimed at addressing the current challenges,” he said.
Challenges being resolved
Mr Abrefa Afena posited that, the current power challenges are being resolved “and soon the results will be visible for all to see.”
He stated that the matters need swift intervention adding, “but I struggle to appreciate the logic in Amoasi’s position of removing the minister.”
He queried: “When Kwabena Donkor resigned over the pervasive dumsor under John Mahama, did it necessarily solve the matter?”
“Amoasi should get serious. It is all about solutions. Dr. Prempeh continues to work with the technical people to find amicable solutions,” he added.
The spokesperson reiterated the Minister’s quest for forbearance from the Ghanaian people as stakeholders continue to work assiduously to solve the temporary challenges.
