Minority calls on government to sustain local crude supply to TOR
The Minority in Parliament has called on the government to sustain the supply of locally produced crude oil to the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to support its operations.
Members of Parliament's Energy Committee are urging the government to maintain the supply of locally produced crude oil to the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR). George Kwame Aboagye, the Ranking Member, made the plea on September 22 while speaking to JoyNews. Aboagye emphasized the necessity of consistent crude oil delivery to the refinery, especially during its refurbishment and improvements.
He urged the government to keep supporting the refinery by ensuring a steady supply of crude oil, preferably locally sourced from Ghana. Aboagye also highlighted the crucial role of the refinery's workforce in achieving its goals. He called for measures to engage workers more closely with the facility, to maintain their commitment to the refinery's operations.
He stressed that without the commitment of the workers, the progress being made at the refinery cannot be sustained. Aboagye also linked his call for continued crude supply to the ongoing situation in the Strait of Hormuz, stressing the importance of Ghana securing its own crude oil supply.
