ACEP cautions against politicisation of new Power Ministry The Africa Center for Energy Policy (ACEP) has
cautioned the newly-appointed Power Minister to
avoid acts that would politicise the new
ministry.
President John Mahama has nominated Dr. Kwabena
Donkor, MP for Pru East and Chairman of the
Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy, as
Minister for the newly created Ministry of Power.
The new Power Ministry, according to government,
is part of a restructuring process to ensure
stability and security of Ghana's deteriorating
power sector.
Executive Director of ACEP, Mohammed Amin Adam,
has therefore called for all-inclusiveness to
address the power crisis the country is faced
with.
Dr Kwabena Donkor is overly partisan and in times
like these you need a bi-partisan approach to this
national crisis. So I will advise him to work with
his opposition colleagues to build consensus on
what needs to be done in the power sector", he
told Joy News.
He said the power sector issues must in no way be
politicised.
"It is a national crisis; it is affecting
everybody irrespective what party we belong", he
said.
