Missing ECG Containers: Every culprit in this matter must be held accountable - Senyo Hosi
He has called for a thorough forensic audit into this matter to unearth the real culprits behind this matter.
“Every culprit in this matter must be held accountable,” Senyo Hosi said.
He added, “It is a systematic failure of governance.”
He indicated that ECG has been a problem with almost 70 billion Cedis debt.
“It is a big problem, we need a proper forensic audit so we can establish certain things properly,” he said on the KeyPoints on TV3 Saturday, March 29.
He added, “We need to know why we can’t find the missing containers. This matter needs thorough investigation and every body in must he held accountable.”
An investigative report on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has uncovered that more than 1,300 containers, which were meant to be cleared at the Tema Port, are 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.
The findings were presented to the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, who described the situation as alarming. He assured that a full-scale investigation, involving the Attorney General and the Police, would be conducted to track down the missing containers or recover their monetary value.
Minister Jinapor has assured swift action, stating, “The over 1,300 containers cannot vanish into thin air. We will ensure those responsible are held accountable.” He also pledged to separate ECG’s procurement unit within a week and introduce urgent reforms to prevent future irregularities.
The investigation, launched after the minister’s visit to the port in January 2025, estimates liabilities linked to the missing containers at GH₵1.5 billion.
