Energy Minister John Jinapor has revealed that additional measures are being taken to uncover the whereabouts of the missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers, following the disappearance of over 1,300 containers from the Tema Port.
In an interview on Wednesday, April 2, the minister announced that his office had formally written to the Attorney General, requesting further investigations and the possibility of legal action against those responsible.
“We’ve written to the Attorney General to conduct further investigations with the possibility of taking the culprits to court,” Jinapor stated.
Additionally, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) has been assigned to carry out a forensic investigation to trace the missing containers and establish accountability.
To prevent further losses, Jinapor disclosed that he has personally reached out to the National Security Secretariat, requesting their support in securing the remaining containers for a proper reconciliation process.
“Some containers are still scattered. We need to secure them so that we can put them to good use while we pursue those that cannot be accounted for,” he added.
Meanwhile, some of the missing containers have been located, with several individuals, including Ghanaians and Chinese nationals, arrested in connection with the incident.
