The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has serious concerns. More than 1,350 Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers have disappeared from the Tema Harbour.

A committee was set up to investigate this issue. They found alarming procurement breaches over several years.

On Tuesday, March 25, Mr. Jinapor shared a Facebook post. He mentioned receiving a 103-page report on the irregularities.

“The findings are very disturbing,” he stated. Over 1,350 containers are missing from the Tema port, along with serious procurement violations.
