John Abdulai Jinapor, the member of parliament for Yapei-Kusawgu, has expressed serious worries about Ghana's present fuel supplies and raised the possibility of an energy catastrophe.

He disclosed that the nation's fuel supply is insufficient for power generation, with only five hours' worth left.

Jinapor blamed the departing government for not acquiring the required fuel supplies in spite of several warnings.

He underlined that there may be significant energy shortages as a result of the existing fuel supply for power generation, which will only last for two days.

According to rumors, John Jinapor might be named the Energy Minister in the cabinet of President John Dramani Mahama as a result of these difficulties.


His term as Deputy Minister of Energy and his vast experience in the energy sector make him an excellent choice to handle the country's energy problems.

Recent remarks by Jinapor highlight how urgent it is to stabilize Ghana's electricity supply.

To avoid any disruptions, he urged the future government to give fixing the energy issues first priority. He pointed out that load shedding is presently occurring in several parts of the nation.

Several oil marketing companies have begun to slightly raise fuel prices since the first pricing window opened in December, which has added to the energy concerns.

Shell has already taken the initiative and raised the cost of gasoline and diesel.

A liter of gasoline, which was previously sold for GH₵14.82 during the second November pricing window, is currently being sold for GH₵14.99, which represents a slight increase.

Diesel is currently being sold at GH₵15.72 per liter, whereas it was previously priced at GH₵15.66.

Although a general price drop for both products was anticipated, this event occurred during the second pricing window in November, when only the price of gasoline decreased and the price of diesel stayed the same.

Prior to the second pricing window opening on November 16, the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) had predicted a drop in fuel prices.

Based on global market trends and the cedi's comparatively strong performance during that time, this forecast was made.
