Energy Sector Showing Signs of Stability

During a July 16, 2025 event at Jubilee House, Energy Minister John Jinapor shared good news: Ghana’s energy situation is finally calming down. He said the sector is showing real signs of stability and recovery—the headaches of power outages seem to be fading. What’s Changed Gone are the persistent blackouts that once plagued homes and businesses. Now, power comes through more reliably and consistently, and people are noticing. Thanks to reforms and better infrastructure, the system is now more dependable—even during big maintenance jobs like upgrades at the ENI gas facility, which went smoothly without sparking the feared “National Dumsor Day.” Numbers That Matter Revenue at the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has shot up 47.3% year-on-year—evidence that bills are being paid, and money is flowing back into the system. This increase comes from cleaner billing, stronger financial discipline, and […]

Afenyo‑Markin Alleges DRIP Machinery Used for Galamsey

On July 14, 2025, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo‑Markin told Parliament that machines meant for the District Road Improvement Project (DRIP) are being hijacked for galamsey, with the government turning a blind eye to the misuse. What He Said The DRIP machinery, intended to build and repair roads, is being used illegally in mining pits. He accused authorities of doing nothing to stop this, describing it as blatant impunity. He warned that this theft of state property worsens environmental destruction and threatens Ghana’s economic recovery through agriculture. Why This Matters Public property theft: DRIP is funded by taxpayers and donors. Misusing the equipment undermines public trust. Environmental harm: Galamsey brings water pollution and deforestation—damaging land meant for farming. Economic fallout: Ghana aims to grow its economy through agriculture. Environmental damage works directly against that goal. MP’s Call to Action Afenyo‑Markin urged […]

Law to Regulate Shipping Charges in Pipeline

On July 15, 2025, Professor Ransford Gyampo, Acting CEO of the Ghana Shippers’ Authority (GSA), announced plans to introduce a Legislative Instrument (L.I.) under the newly enacted Act. This instrument will legally empower the Authority to oversee and approve or reject shipping line charges, aimed at stopping arbitrary fee hikes and protecting traders and consumers. Key Features of the L.I. Mandatory Charge Submission The GSA can demand shipping lines declare all charges—including demurrage and surcharges—for official evaluation and approval. Approval Authority Charges will be reviewed and either approved or rejected; shipping lines are prohibited from implementing fees without prior authorization . Pending approval, demurrage fees must be suspended, with the Authority stepping in to prevent illegal billing. Resistance and Enforcement Some shipping lines have resisted regulation, but Prof. Gyampo emphasized that non-compliance will not deter GSA from enforcing the law. Broader Legal and […]

He pointed to: High Right-of-Way (RoW) fees Multiple taxation of […]
