A former Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has dismissed calls for the Minister of Energy to release a load-shedding timetable.

According to the maverick politician, the calls on Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the energy minister, are misplaced and borne out of a certain dislike for the minister for various reasons.

“Clearly, the likes of Osafo-Maafo want to shift the blame on Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh just because he is in contention in the NPP running mate agenda. For me, there is a higher authority and that higher authority is not Matthew Opoku Prempeh," he said.

Mornah’s response comes on the back of calls by Senior Advisor to the President, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, on the energy minister to publish a load-shedding timetable.

The same call was made by the Executive Director of IES, Nana Amoasi, further calling for the minister to be removed.

Speaking on TV3’s New Day with Berla Mundi, Bernard Mornah further rubbished the blame that has been put on the energy minister, stating that they are not in good faith.
