Member of Parliament for Yapei Kusawgu and former Deputy Energy Minister, John Jinapor has disclosed that "Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) is on its knees".
He says the company will be on the "brink of collapse if government does not come in to assist them".
Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia programme, he explained that TOR has stop processing oil for sometime now and that is leading to the gradual collapse of the oil refinery.
"Government should put in measures to allow TOR to begin processing crude . . . let our share from the oil blocks be sent to TOR for processing if government still wants to keep TOR alive . . . We did it during our tenure in office so it is possible for government to be able to do same," he added.
He pointed out that, failure on the part of government to do so, could result in periodic increase in petroleum prices.
"Another institution that needs to be proactive is NPA, they are being paid for nothing," he asserted.

People will politicize everything in Ghana. The fact remains that TOR is on its knees. A Refinery that cannot pay the salaries of its staff cannot be said to be sound. Maybe we are waiting for the staff to hit the street before we tag them politically soon. Let government invest in TOR to make it functional for the sake of hundred of people who works there. The NDC failed to act. Let the NPP do somethinng different to reflect the change we voted for. My take!
I think government should listen to his good counsel to save TOR.I hope advice is sincere not one of NDC's mischief.
Isn't this same guy who said we are definitely in a period of dumsor no matter what? When they started pulling down pylons and burning oil pipes supposed to feed electrical engines in Tema? What does this guy gains prophesizing doomsday for the country? Now a millionaire who drives V-8 and thinks that is the end of everything. Sit down and delude yourself with these stu?p1d1ty and tickle your miserable self these n0n sense will bring you and your John Mahama to power. You are doomed.
What were you doing during your eight years in office when TOR did not refund even a barrel of grudge oil?
where from NDC ennye yie syndrome , everything not done by them will colapse....INCOMPETENT jdm apostle where is ndc message for 2020 election....?????
John What was the situation when you were in charge? Some of you have turned yourself into doomsday prophets. I tell you TOR will not collapse. If it did not collapse during your period of INCOMPETENCE, it will surely survive under this regime
