Former Energy minister Herbert Krapa challenges NDC over power supply concerns

Former Energy minister Herbert Krapa challenges NDC over power supply concerns
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Former Minister for Energy, Herbert Krapa, has refuted claims John Jinapor, Co-Chairman of the Transition Team’s sub-committee on Energy and Natural Resources, that Ghana faces an imminent return to power outages due to depleted fuel stock.

In a strongly worded statement, Mr. Krapa dismissed the suggestion of “looming load shedding” as unfounded and accused the new government of using diversionary tactics instead of addressing challenges head-on.

“Load shedding does not ‘loom.’ It is caused either by technical or emergency power generation issues or a lack of competence in managing the power sector. Mr. Jinapor seems to be haunted clearly by the latter,” Krapa said.

According to Mr. Krapa, the outgoing government left sufficient fuel stock to maintain power generation. He cited light crude oil used by Cenpower and heavy fuel oil supplied to AKSA as evidence that measures were in place to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply.

“These facts are easily verifiable with a phone call to both power plants,” Krapa emphasized. He urged the new administration to procure additional liquid fuel as necessary and manage the power sector competently to avoid disruptions.

The former minister challenged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to emulate the achievements of the Akufo-Addo administration in maintaining consistent power supply over the past eight years, even amid challenges.

“We did it, and they can do it too, if they can. The NDC government should get to work as we did and stop the needless finger-pointing,” Krapa stated.

The statement comes after Mr. Jinapor attributed potential power disruptions to the previous administration, raising concerns about depleting fuel reserves. Mr. Krapa, however, dismissed these claims as an attempt to shirk responsibility.

He concluded by urging the NDC government to prioritize proactive measures over blame games, asserting that competence and planning are key to ensuring that “the lights stay on.”

This development highlights ongoing debates over the management of Ghana’s energy sector and the political tensions that often accompany power supply issues.

As Ghanaians remain sensitive to any disruptions in electricity, the energy sector will likely continue to be a focal point of public and political scrutiny in the months ahead.
