Jinapor stressed that these entities must demonstrate tangible results, warning that chronic delays and persistent non-performance will not be accepted. In a Facebook post dated October 9, Jinapor outlined his intention to engage leadership in a review of their 2026 performance, address outstanding issues and set new priorities for the upcoming year, 2027.\n\nThe Minister specifically highlighted advancements in several key areas, including the installation of 3,000 transformers, progress in power generation, an increase in electricity access to 89.13%, and intensified efforts to reinvigorate domestic oil refining. Jinapor stressed that the sector's development must move beyond mere commitments to tangible outcomes, with accountability, efficiency, transparency, and value for money serving as guiding principles.\n\nJinapor emphasized that heads of agencies are expected to demonstrate concrete results. The government's primary focus for 2027 is to establish an energy sector that is reliable, affordable, sustainable, and resilient, capable of supporting economic growth and delivering tangible benefits to the citizens of Ghana.",
