Ghana’s Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor, is pushing for a forensic investigation into the disappearance of over 1,300 containers of critical electrical equipment belonging to Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) from the Tema Port.
The disappearance of the containers has sparked widespread public outrage and concerns about possible corruption and misconduct.
According to reports, the containers were diverted through various means, with some allegedly cleared from the port but never delivered, while others ended up in private factories or were auctioned at suspiciously low prices.
The controversy gained attention after an investigative report revealed irregularities in ECG’s procurement process.
Minister Jinapor welcomed the public’s interest in the matter, emphasizing the need for accountability.
His ministry has begun tracking the missing containers using their unique identification numbers and ports of receipt.
Minister Jinapor revealed on Accra-based GhOne TV over the weekend that he has received multiple leads on the possible locations of the missing containers, and he has assured Ghanaians that immediate action will be taken.
To ensure transparency and accountability, Jinapor stressed the need for a specialized forensic committee to conduct a thorough investigation.
This committee will retrace the movement of the containers, expose those responsible, and determine which ports the containers were received from.
