President Akufo-Addo has named Hebert Krapa as Minister of State in the Energy Ministry.
According to the president, this appointment is required due to the Energy Ministry’s increased workload.
Hebert Krapa is now the Deputy Energy Minister and Chairman of the Electricity Company of Ghana.
Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, announced the president’s appeal for legislative confirmation of the nomination.
He stated, “I’m writing to seek parliamentary approval for the appointment of Honourable Herbert Krapa as Minister of State at the Minister of Energy in accordance with Article 78 of the Constitution.
“It has been the practice for some time for the Minister of Energy to be populated by a substantive minister and three deputy ministers.
“In view of the exceptionally heavy workload now attendant at the Ministry, it has become necessary to appoint a Minister of State at the Ministry in the person of Honourable Herbert Krapa, who is currently a deputy minister.”
