\u201cI\u2019ve not said that we give no credit to the previous administration for anything they did. What I\u2019ve said is that, a lot of the gains we\u2019ve chalked are principally because of the works we\u2019ve done. Throughout the campaign of 2015 and 2016, we always said that the energy crisis was a financial crisis. We believed that there was enough production capacity to meet our needs. The reason for which some of those plants were not producing and meeting our needs were because there were debts owed them, there were crude oil financing needs that money was not being made available to finance. Our challenge wasn\u2019t about having enough power plants but about having a viable financial solution to ensure that the plants we had were fired,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, the problems in the sector were purely financial, which the new government had shown commitment to addressing since they took over, in terms of appointments and resource allocation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Nana Akufo Addo named 110 Ministers, he was lambasted, but he has a deputy Minister responsible for financing the energy sector. His job is to ensure the regular stream of financing to ensure that our power plants were firing and giving us enough and excess because if you did the numbers at the time, we had enough capacity. It is our claim that pursuant to that strategy and making sure that the plants are liquid, that\u2019s where we are today.\u201d<\/p>\n
