The Institute of Energy Security (IES) has called for the immediate dismissal of Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh.
IES premised its call over what it describes as the deteriorating energy crisis in the country.
It is the argument of the policy think tank that there is a need for urgent action aimed at addressing the challenge.
Speaking in an interview on Citi FM on Monday, April 22, 2024, Nana Amoasi VII, the Executive Director of IES, said the Minister has not demonstrated leadership.
In his view, the minister looks detached from the reality of the energy situation, questioning the purpose of his presence in such a crucial role.
“At this juncture, with the situation we find ourselves in, where there’s no electricity supply, what role does the minister serve? It’s time for him to step aside, perhaps to focus on other pursuits.
“He should be relieved of his duties. It’s becoming unbearable. Is it too much to ask?”
“In all honesty, as a prepaid consumer, I’ve paid for the power that should be provided to me. I’ve even paid for the meter installation, which is essentially a contractual agreement.
“If I’m 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.”
