\n
The press aide to Energy Minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh has refuted an article by one Isaac Minta Larbi, a lawyer, who attributed certain disagreements with Ghana\u2019s lithium contract to Dr Prempeh.<\/p>\n
Mr Kofi Abrefa Afena clarified that the lithium agreement falls within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the misalignment, Mr Afena pointed out that on Thursday, December 7, 2023, the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources addressed the press regarding the lithium contract.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that Dr Prempeh, the Energy Minister, had not made any comments on the matter.<\/p>\n
Mr Afena attributed the error to a misunderstanding of the ministerial and agency alignment, urging Mr Minta Larbi to rectify the article upon clarification.<\/p>\n
The minister\u2019s aide made this clarification speaking in an interview over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Mr Afena emphasised that the Minerals Commission CEO, mentioned in Mr Larbi\u2019s article, should have served as a clear indication that the issue is unrelated to the Energy Ministry.<\/p>\n
