Deputy Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Richard Gyan Mensah, has called on the public to assist with information regarding the disappearance of several containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), which are currently at the center of an ongoing investigation.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue on Saturday, April 5, Gyan Mensah addressed growing public concern over the loss of the containers, which were designated for ECG’s operations.
His appeal follows the establishment of an investigative committee tasked with probing the circumstances surrounding the missing containers. The committee’s preliminary report has sparked serious questions about ECG’s management of its logistics chain.
According to the findings, out of 2,491 containers expected to be cleared and distributed, 1,357 remain unaccounted for. These containers are said to contain critical equipment intended for ECG’s nationwide operations, but were reportedly left at the port for an extended period without clearance.
“Currently, the security agency has not given us a report within the last three days. I am very hopeful that when we start the new week, we will take a brief, and they will also be able to relay it back to the media,” Gyan Mensah stated, indicating the ministry had not yet received updates from security agencies.
He confirmed that arrests had been made in connection with the case, and those involved were cooperating with investigators.
“The arrested people have been handed over to the police and are currently under investigation. They have also disclosed where they bought [the equipment] from, and we are investigating everyone,” he said.
The Deputy Minister also suggested that more individuals may be brought in to assist with the probe and encouraged public cooperation.
“Even as Manager Dubik says he wasn’t involved, I hope the security agency will also engage him, because once the report comes up, anyone who has information—we are calling on the public to come up with any information that you know about the issue to the media, to help with the investigation,” he added.
