The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has revealed that 40 of the missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers have been traced to a warehouse owned by an Indian national at Kpone, near Tema.
Speaking in an interview with Accra-based TV3, he commended national security and law enforcement agencies for their efforts in tracking down the missing containers.
“The important issue is the whereabouts of these containers. The briefing I received this morning indicates that about 40 of them have already been traced to a warehouse in Kpone, which belongs to an Indian national. All 40 containers have been confiscated and moved to a secure location,” Jinapor stated.
According to the minister, the warehouse owner claimed that the containers were sold to him last year. However, he stressed that the matter remains under investigation, and law enforcement agencies will ensure that justice is served.
“This is now a subject of investigation, and the law enforcement agencies will make sure the law takes its course,” he added.
Jinapor also noted that intelligence reports suggest more missing containers are in other locations. He assured the public that security agencies are actively pursuing leads to retrieve all the missing containers and hold those responsible accountable.
“They have identified other locations and are following up to recover all the containers and ensure the perpetrators are prosecuted before competent courts,” he affirmed.
