Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has disclosed that his ministry has submitted a comprehensive report on the missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers to the Attorney General’s office for further action.
Speaking during a working visit to the ECG headquarters in Accra on Friday, October 17, Mr. Jinapor said the Attorney General is reviewing the report and assured that individuals found culpable will be prosecuted.
He commended key stakeholders, including staff of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GHAPOHA), the National Security Coordinator, and the Chief of Staff, for their roles in retrieving the containers.
“As Minister, I will not tolerate such occurrences again. The full document has been forwarded to the Attorney General, and if anyone is found culpable, the law will take its course,” he stated.
Mr. Jinapor further revealed that ECG’s management has reviewed 347 contracts and terminated 202 of them without any financial or legal consequences, describing the move as a step toward efficiency and accountability.
The issue of the missing containers first came to light in March 2025 when the Energy Ministry announced that about 1,300 ECG containers could not be traced. Following investigations, a special committee traced over 2,600 containers, with about 1,500 subsequently cleared from the ports.
