The Deputy Director in charge of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande, has called for the arrest of former Energy Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Effutu MP, Alexander Afenyo-Markin and former Electricity Company of Ghana(ECG) boss, Samuel Dubik Mahama.
The call of the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) is in connection with the over 1,300 ECG containers which have gone missing at the Tema Port.
Mr. Gbande has stated that the trio muct be held accountable for the disappearance given their various past roles in the operations of ECG.
“The Board Chairman, Afenyo-Markin now wants to run away from responsibility and it is in the interest of the country for him to be arrested immediately.
“I am calling for the immediate arrest of Afenyo-Markin, Samuel Dubik Maham and Matthew Opoku Prempeh because we cannot continue to have these instances of corruption, and it is time for us to take action,” he stated in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM.
The Energy Minister, John Jinapor last week revealed that a committee set up to investigate containers packed at the Tema Port on his assumption of office, indicated that over 1,300 containers could not be accounted for.
He said preliminary investigations had shown that the disappearances, orchestrated by a syndicate, had been happening since 2019.
Following an intelligence-led operation, so far, 10 foreign nationals and four Ghanaians have been arrested in connection with the missing containers.
