Mahama blames NPP government for declining investor confidence in energy sector

John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of harming investor confidence in Ghana's energy sector through non-transparent deals.

He argued that these actions have created instability, leading to a significant decline in crude oil production and driving the sector to near collapse.

Speaking at a meeting with petroleum sector stakeholders in Accra, Mahama pledged to restore investor trust by implementing reforms, increasing transparency, and fostering a stable environment for growth if elected in 2024.

He also criticized corruption scandals and regulatory failures for damaging Ghana’s reputation internationally.
