I support calls for Energy Minister to appear before Parliament – Sagnarigu MP
Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu, Atta Issah, has expressed support for calls for the energy minister to appear before Parliament, saying lawmakers have a responsibility to seek answers and make suggestions on behalf of the people.
Atta Issah, the Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu, has voiced support for the demand that the energy minister appear before Parliament. He believes that lawmakers have a duty to seek answers and propose solutions on behalf of the public. Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile, Issah emphasized that the minister's appearance would allow MPs to inquire and seek clarity regarding the challenges within the energy sector.
"I support the cause that he should come to Parliament because we are the people's representatives," Issah stated on Saturday, August 22. The statement came as the Deputy Ranking Member of Parliament's Energy Committee, Collins Adomako-Mensah, called for the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) and the energy minister to appear before Parliament to address the frequent nationwide power outages.
Adomako-Mensah added that Parliament's deliberation on the 2027 Budget in November could present an opportunity for MPs to advocate for additional funds for the Energy Ministry, provided the minister provides satisfactory responses to the questions raised. Issah also praised the energy minister for his increased interaction with the media and stakeholders, but stressed that these discussions must ultimately result in tangible actions.
