  "account": "Energy Minister Dr John Abdulai Jinapor cautioned CEOs and managing directors of government institutions under his ministry that persistent underperformance would lead to consequences, emphasizing the need for measurable results. He denounced a culture of excuses, delays, and unproductive meetings, stating that the Ghanaian people expect public institutions to meet their obligations. Jinapor highlighted the government's commitment to accountability, citing the dissolution of nine boards, three of which were within his ministry. He warned that the President would take similar measures against CEOs and MDs whose performance fell below expectations, asserting there would be no protection for persistent non-performance. The minister used the 2026 Energy Sector Performance Review Retreat as a platform for agencies to evaluate their 2026 performance, establish targets for 2027, and identify required resources and implementation timelines. Jinapor called for frank discussions and concrete results, urging heads of institutions to address challenges, request resources, and escalate decisions as needed. He stressed that performance improvements should not compromise legal compliance, particularly in procurement and public funds management, emphasizing the need for transparent, competitive, and accountable processes.",
