Ranking Member on Parliament's Energy Committee, John Jinapor
The Minority in Parliament is demanding a thorough audit of Ghana’s energy sector to evaluate the extent of its mounting debt, which they claim has surpassed $2 billion.
This call comes amid growing concerns about the government's handling of funds collected under the Energy Sector Levy Act (ESLA), which the Minority attributes to mismanagement.
John Jinapor, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Energy Committee, voiced these concerns during a media briefing.
He specifically criticised the Ministry of Finance for failing to settle GH¢1.8 billion owed for electricity consumed by various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) since August 2023. This lack of payment, he argued, has significantly hindered the operational capabilities of the power sector.
