Ghana’s Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, has reminded heads of agencies under the Ministry and senior managers that President John Dramani Mahama will not spare any leader who fails to deliver on their mandate.
“Underperformance will not be tolerated. Heads of agencies and senior management who fail to meet agreed targets or deliver key projects will be removed,” Dr. Jinapor cautioned while addressing agency heads and staff at the Ministry’s performance review retreat in Takoradi, in the Western Region.
According to the Minister, President Mahama has made it clear that leadership roles in the public sector must be matched with tangible results.
He described public office as a privilege rather than an entitlement, stressing that it demands discipline, professionalism, and a strong sense of accountability.
Dr. Jinapor urged agency leaders to approach the retreat with seriousness and a renewed commitment to performance.
“This is not a threat; it is a call to seriousness, discipline, and results-oriented leadership,” he emphasised.
Looking ahead to 2026, the Minister challenged agencies to shift their focus from excessive planning to effective execution, urging them to adopt realistic and measurable strategies aligned with national development priorities.
“We must move from plans to execution, from excuses to solutions, and from fragmented efforts to unified action,” he said.
The performance review retreat, according to the Ministry, is aimed at assessing progress, identifying gaps, and strengthening coordination across the energy sector in support of Ghana’s broader economic and green transition agenda.
