Collins Adomako Mensah calls for urgent probe into missing 1,300 ECG containers

Former Deputy Minister for Energy, Collins Adomako Mensah, has called for an investigation. Over 1,300 containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) are missing from Tema Harbour.

Mr. Mensah expressed his shock at this situation. He agreed with his colleague, John Jinapor, that such incidents are rare and concerning.

As the Minority Deputy Ranking on the Energy Committee, he assured full cooperation for accountability. He wants to bring those responsible to justice.

Mensah emphasized the need for a thorough investigation. The structured approval processes at ECG make this loss troubling. He stated that restoring order and transparency is crucial.

An investigative report revealed more than 1,300 containers are unaccounted for. These containers were meant to be cleared at Tema Port.

Prof. Innocent Senyo Acquah chairs the investigative committee. ECG initially claimed they had 2,491 uncleared containers filled with cables and equipment.

However, an independent audit found only 1,134 containers at the port. This leaves 1,347 containers still missing. Prof. Acquah discussed these findings on Good Morning Ghana on Metro TV in Accra.
