Not all assets are taken into account in this merger, including the hydro dams.
The rest of the bills being pushed by the Energy Ministry include the Ghana Thermal Authority Bill, Ghana Hydro Authority Bill, Ghana Power Distribution Authority Bill, Ghana Nuclear Power Corporation Bill, and Ghana Energy Regulatory Authority Bill.
The Deputy Minority Whip, Ahmed Ibrahim also questioned the timing of the move with under 100 days to the general election.
