The Minority in Parliament is calling for Energy Minister John Jinapor to appear before the full House to brief lawmakers on Ghana’s power sector challenges, insisting that parliamentary oversight is a constitutional duty and cannot be replaced by media briefings or executive press engagements. Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament’s Energy Committee, Collins Adomako-Mensah, speaking for the NPP Minority, said the Minister must account to Parliament on key issues, including generation capacity, transmission constraints, outstanding debts to Independent Power Producers (IPPs), and the implementation status of the Energy Sector Recovery Programme (ESRP).
