Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Executive Director of the Institute for Energy Security (IES), Nana Amoasi VII, is waging calls for the immediate removal of Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh from office over what he describes as a \u201cdeteriorating energy crisis.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Given the current status of the energy sector, the IES supports calls for the minister\u2019s dismissal, as they contend that immediate action is required.<\/p>\n

The energy expert, in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM, expressed dissatisfaction with the minister\u2019s attitude in the ongoing power crisis, emphasising his perceived lack of action.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he questioned the minister\u2019s motivation for taking on such a significant job by drawing attention to his seeming disconnection from the reality of the energy issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this juncture, with the situation we find ourselves in, where there\u2019s no electricity supply, what role does the minister serve? It\u2019s time for him to step aside, perhaps to focus on other pursuits.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should be relieved of his duties. It\u2019s becoming unbearable. Is it too much to ask?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn all honesty, as a prepaid consumer, I\u2019ve paid for the power that should be provided to me. I\u2019ve even paid for the meter installation, which is essentially a contractual agreement.<\/p>\n

Political interference in ECG, VRA, GRIDCo not helpful, let\u2019s change the narrative \u2013 IES<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m not receiving the power, the least I expect is some communication about when to expect it. But to be told to create my own timetable is simply disrespectful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
