The Energy Minister-designate, John Abdulai Jinapor appeared before Parliament's Appointments Committee on Monday, January 13, for his vetting.
The session saw Mr. Jinapor address critical issues, including private sector participation in the operations of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the rising energy sector debt.
Clad in a blue-black kaftan, Mr. Jinapor responded to questions from the committee, outlining a six-month timeline to develop a private sector involvement framework for ECG reforms.
He justified the need for expert-driven solutions and a competitive tendering process to involve private entities.
The vetting also highlighted his plan to tackle the $3 billion energy sector debt while ensuring efficiency and sustainability in power distribution.
