Less than two months to the end of President Nana Akufo-Addo’s tenure as President, he has appointed the Minister of State in charge of Energy as the substantive Minister of Energy, Herbert Krapa effective Tuesday, November 19, 2024, generating both praise and criticism.

These attributes, the President noted, have contributed to the progress and stability in Ghana’s energy sector and it is for this that the President has reposed such enormous confidence in him to deliver as Minister of Energy.

“Mr Krapa served as Minister of State at the Energy Ministry since his appointment on 15th July 2024 and, according to the President, has demonstrated exceptional diligence, professionalism and a steadfast commitment to his duties, contributing significantly to the progress and stability of Ghana’s energy sector.
