The International Monetary Fund (IMF) wants government to urgently reform the energy sector if it seriously plans to fix the power crises permanently.
President John Mahama has expressed his commitment to deal with the crisis once and for all including plans to reform the sector and make Ghana a net exporter of power.
But the IMF Mission chief for Ghana Joël Toujas-Bernaté who has been speaking in Washington says embarking on energy sector reforms will be key to Ghana’s quest to fix the current economic.
In his words--
“There has been a relatively widespread electricity shortage in the last few years which has affected private sector activity. We are bringing on board new power producers which would eliminate these shortages and also importing for the sector reforms to improve operations… These are the key areas that need immediate attention.”
