Politics of Thursday, 29 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comFollowing claims made by the Minority in Parliament that the Energy Commission has been rendered useless, the technical regulator of the sector has refuted the claim. The Minority had earlier posited that the Energy Commission has had its budget slashed by more than half on the amount of the Capping and Realignment Act. In a press release sighted by GhanaWeb, the technical regulator pointed that it has been effective with its operations. “The Energy Commission wishes to state the following; Under the earmarked funds Capping and Realignment Act, 2017 (Act 947) the Commission had its budgets capped by about 34% between the period of May 2017 and 2018. The Energy Commission continues to perform its functions as prescribed by law,” part of the statement read.
