Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has disclosed that 40 of the over 1300 missing ECG containers have been retrieved after they were traced to an Indian man.
An investigative report on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) uncovered that more than 1,300 containers meant to be cleared at the Tema Port were unaccounted for.
According to Prof. Innocent Senyo Acquah, chairman of the investigative committee, ECG initially claimed to have 2,491 uncleared containers filled with cables and other essential equipment. However, an independent audit at the port found only 1,134 containers, leaving 1,347 missing.
Speaking in an interview on TV3’s News Central, Thursday, March 27, the Minister said a foreign national, an Indian man, has been arrested after national security operatives picked up intelligence that he had 40 of the missing containers, which he had kept at a warehouse in Kpone.
John Jinapor revealed that upon interrogation, the Indian claimed that the 40 containers were sold to him last year.
