Parliament's Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy has appealed to the Ministry of Finance to release GH¢5.6 million to the Petroleum Commission for the establishment and operation of a world-class data centre. Committee Chairman Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah emphasized that this funding is crucial for the Commission's capacity to manage critical upstream petroleum data and improve its operations.
The Parliamentary Select Committee's oversight visit to the Petroleum Commission, as part of their assessment of operations and management procedures, is aimed at ensuring that funds for oil exploration in the Voltaian Basin produce tangible results, and they will require clear evidence of progress before supporting future budget allocations for the programme.
