The Institute of Energy Security (IES) says the Energy Minister's
inability to solve the energy crisis the country is experiencing in
recent times is enough for the president to sack him from office.
The
Executive Director of IES, Nana Amoasi VII said Dr. Matthew Opoku
Prempeh's leadership should be relieved so he can focus on other
'agenda' he seems much more interested in.
“Where we have
gotten to, there is no circuit and so what is the use of the minister in
that space? He must be relieved, probably to concentrate on any other
agenda he is bidding for. He must be relieved of his post.
"It
is becoming too much. Is it not insulting with the statement that he
made? Total disrespect to consumers. Are we asking for too much?” Nana Amoasi VII said in an interview with Citi FM and monitored by Peacefmonline.com.
He
further expressed disappointment with the minister's posture in dealing
with the crisis that has left many Ghanaian businesses collapsing.
“For
God’s sake, I am a prepaid consumer. I have paid for that power that
you need to supply me. In fact, you chose to put a meter in my house at a
fee, which is also a contract in a form, and he chose to take my money
in advance.
“If I am not going to get the power, then
just out of respect, at least tell me when I can have the power. But
don’t look into my face and say, I should go and produce my own
timetable,” he noted
