Gbande demands arrest of Afenyo-Markin, others over missing ECG containers

Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande, has called for the immediate arrest of former ECG Board Chairman Alexander Afenyo-Markin, former Energy Minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and former ECG CEO Samuel Dubik Mahama over the disappearance of more than 1,300 containers at Tema Port.

Speaking on Citi FM, Gbande accused the trio of being responsible for the missing containers, which reportedly contained critical electrical equipment. He criticized Afenyo-Markin for allegedly attempting to evade accountability, insisting that those involved must face legal consequences.

“This level of corruption cannot go unpunished. We must take action now,” he asserted.

An audit revealed that out of 2,491 containers initially recorded, only 1,134 were accounted for, raising serious concerns about accountability within the power sector. The missing containers have sparked public outrage, with increasing calls for a thorough investigation into the matter.
