We only have five hours of fuel stock – John Jinapor

The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency, John Abdulai Jinapor, has warned of impending power crisis.

According to him, the outgoing government did not stock up on enough fuel for power supply.

He said Ghana has only five hours worth of fuel stock for the generation of power across the country.

Speaking on the sidelines of the inauguration of John Dramani Mahama on January 7, 2025, as Ghana’s president, he said that the country faces a serious energy crisis.

“I have bad news for you. As of today, the confirmation we are receiving is that we have only five hours worth of fuel left,” he was quoted by myjoyonline.com.

He also stated that the outgoing government failed to purchase fuel despite repeated concerns and calls from the NDC transition team.

According to him, the country’s current fuel supply for power generation will not last more than two days.
