Energy Minister Not Responsible For Releasing Load shedding Timetable Bernard Mornah

Former Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah has dismissed calls on Energy Minister to release a load-shedding time table.

According to him, the calls on the Energy Minister are misplaced and born out of dislike for the Minister.

“Clearly the likes of Osafo-Maafo want to shift the blame on Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh just because he is in contention in the NPP running mate agenda. For me there is a higher authority and that higher authority is not Matthew Opoku Prempeh” to release the timetable, he said on TV3’s New Day show.

Mr. Mornah’s comment is a direct reply to Senior Advisor to the President, Yaw Osafo-Maafo’s call on the Energy Minister to publish a load-shedding time table and the demand by the Executive Director of IES, Nana Amoasi, for the dismissal of the Minister.

To him, the Minister is not the higher authority on this issue and that he cannot refuse the release of a timetable if the relevant authorities make the decision.
