Parliament's Energy Committee expressed satisfaction with the improvements at the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) following a visit to the facility. The Committee, led by Chairman Emmanuel Bedzrah, toured the refinery to assess operations, refurbishment efforts, and management's attempts to revitalize the facility. Bedzrah highlighted the progress made under the current leadership and was encouraged by the developments observed during the visit.
He noted that previously loss-making institutions have now shown signs of financial and operational recovery, demonstrating what can be achieved with committed management.
The Committee also reviewed concerns raised in previous engagements with TOR, including matters from the refinery's audit reports. While some challenges remain, particularly concerning the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU), Bedzrah stated that the Committee would revisit the facility once the outstanding works are completed. Ranking Member George Kwame Aboagye praised Managing Director Edmond Kombat and urged sustained efforts and stronger collaboration with workers to ensure the refinery's successful transformation.
Aboagye emphasized the need for government support in providing adequate crude oil supplies and other resources to enable TOR to operate efficiently and meet the nation's petroleum demands.
