An investigative report on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has revealed that more than 1,300 containers, which were supposed to be cleared at the Tema Port, cannot be accounted for.
Receiving the report, earlier today, Energy and Green Transition Minister, John Abdulai Jinapor described the findings as alarming and assured that a thorough investigation would be conducted with the assistance of the Attorney General and the Police to prosecute perpetrators.
A five-member committee was tasked to examine ECG’s procurement practices, assessing the cost of the containers, and determining liabilities, which have been estimated at GH₵1.5 billion
The investigation was launched following the discovery of the uncleaned containers during the minister’s visit to the port in January 2025.
Presenting the report to the Minister, Chairman of the committee that conducted the investigation, Professor Innocent Senyo Acquah, disclosed that while ECG claimed to have 2,491 uncleared containers that contained cables as well as other equipment belonging to ECG, an independent audit at the port found only 1,134, leaving 1,347 unaccounted for.
The committee also found that ECG’s procurement directorate had been merged with its Housing and Estate unit.
Additionally, background checks on the Director of Procurement revealed that he had no prior experience in procurement and was not a member of any professional procurement body.
