The Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North, Collins Adomako-Mensah, has alleged that government owes fuel suppliers nearly $200 million.
Speaking on Badwam on Adom TV, he said the claim is based on intelligence his side has gathered regarding the current state of the energy sector.
According to him, the outstanding debt to fuel suppliers is a key issue that requires urgent attention, as it has implications for the stability of power supply in the country.
“We have picked intelligence that this government owes fuel suppliers close to $200 million,” he stated.
Mr Adomako-Mensah further indicated that concerns over the debt are among the reasons his side has insisted on accountability regarding financial measures introduced in the energy sector.
He referenced a bill presented to Parliament by the National Democratic Congress, which he said required a report by March 31 on the implementation of a one-cedi levy on fuel.
He maintained that addressing the financial obligations within the energy sector is critical to resolving ongoing challenges.
