The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) convened a stakeholder forum in Accra on Monday, August 25, to deliberate on the draft NPA Bill, as part of efforts to finalise the proposed legislation.
The meeting brought together key players in Ghana’s petroleum downstream industry to provide input and feedback on the bill.
The forum was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition and chaired by the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor.
He was joined by his deputy, Richard Gyan-Mensah, and other ministry officials.
Once enacted, the draft bill is expected to strengthen the regulatory and operational frameworks of the petroleum downstream sector, while promoting greater efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
Stakeholders at the forum were invited to share their perspectives to help refine the legislation.
The NPA emphasised that the engagement reflects its commitment to inclusive policymaking, ensuring that industry concerns and contributions are adequately addressed before the draft bill is finalised and submitted to Parliament.
