Herbert Krapa has been approved by Parliament to serve as the Energy Ministry’s Minister of State-designate.

Herbert Krapa is the Minister of State-designate for the Ministry of Energy, having been authorized by Parliament.

This approval follows the Minority’s blocking of the Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s earlier attempt to accelerate his screening and approval.

Following the appointment of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the current Energy Minister, as the running mate for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the NPP, President Akufo-Addo has nominated Herbert Krapa, the deputy Energy Minister, to be a Minister of State at the Energy Ministry.

In response, in order to avoid a leadership void in the ministry, the Majority Leader asked Parliament to expedite the approval procedure. The Minority in Parliament, however, was against this request.
