President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Dr Kwabena Donkor, Member of Parliament for Pru East in the Brong Ahafo Region as minister of a newly-created Ministry of Power.

The establishment of the Ministry forms part of a restructuring of the power sector to ensure more stability and security of power.

A statement from the Office of the President and signed by the Chief of Staff, Mr Prosper Bani, on Saturday morning said the President expects the new ministry to bring about a sharper focus on the generation, supply and efficiency of power to match the growth the economy was expecting.

When approved by Parliament, the new minister will be expected to mobilise all human and material resources available to resolve the current challenges facing the energy sector.
