Over 1,350 ECG containers missing from Tema Harbour amid procurement breaches – Energy Minister

The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has raised serious concerns over the disappearance of more than 1,350 Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers from the Tema Harbour.

According to the Minister, a committee set up to investigate the issue has uncovered alarming procurement breaches spanning several years.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, 25 March, Mr Jinapor disclosed that he had received a 103-page report detailing the extent of the irregularities.

“The findings from the committee report are very disturbing, with over 1,350 of the containers missing from the Tema port aside from serious procurement breaches in the past few years,” he stated.

The Minister further assured the public that law enforcement agencies would be tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.

“The law enforcement agencies will surely be tasked to hold culprits liable,” he emphasised, signalling the government’s commitment to ensuring accountability.

The disappearance of the ECG containers and the procurement violations raise significant concerns about transparency and oversight in the energy sector.
