Richard Ahiagbah is the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He has called for a thorough investigation into missing containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). Ahiagbah believes the Mahama administration should take responsibility for this issue. He insists that the previous NPP government should not be blamed.
The missing ECG containers are crucial for improving electricity distribution in Ghana. Their disappearance has raised suspicions of mismanagement under the Mahama administration. Ahiagbah urges the government to investigate and bring those responsible to justice.
He emphasized that the current government must accept responsibility, rather than blaming past administrations. During the NPP's time in power, ECG was fully functional without such issues. Accountability lies with the current government and stakeholders from that era.
Ahiagbah also stressed that national security should be involved in this investigation. The loss of these containers could impact ECG’s ability to supply power efficiently. This situation has broader implications for Ghana's economy and daily life.
He criticized the Mahama administration for not addressing this issue promptly. Swift action is needed to identify and recover any missing goods. According to him, this matter is of national importance requiring immediate resolution.
Ahiagbah suggested involving multiple stakeholders, including law enforcement and regulatory bodies, in the investigation. With elections approaching, this issue has become politically charged. The NPP seeks transparency while the NDC defends its record.
Ahiagbah’s call for an investigation aims to hold the Mahama government accountable for this scandal. The story of the missing ECG containers continues, with Ghanaians closely watching developments. As political tensions rise, there is hope for a clear explanation and actions to prevent future mismanagement.
The government faces increasing pressure to act swiftly and uncover the truth behind this scandal.
