I have received tip-offs on whereabouts of missing ECG containers – John Jinapor

The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has indicated that he has received calls on the whereabouts of some of the missing ECG containers.

He made this disclosure following a proposal for a forensic committee to probe the disappearance of Electricity of Ghana (ECG) containers from the Tema Port.

The contents of the missing containers include vital electrical equipment for national power distribution.

According to Jinapor, he has received tip-offs on possible locations of the containers, including warehouses and factories.

“This morning, I received a couple of calls on other areas, in terms of warehouses and factories, where these ECG containers can be found and so we will be moving into action this morning,” he said during an interview on GH Today on March 31, 2025.

Jinapor also thanked the public for showing interest and demanding accountability from the managers of the state-owned facility.

“I’m very happy in the interest that Ghanaians are showing. It means that they want accountability. They want the right thing done, they want us to trail the whereabouts of these containers and to hold those who are behind this development to account and that’s exactly what we are doing. Let me thank the public,” he added.

In line with efforts to recover the missing ECG containers, the minister has proposed a forensic committee to locate persons behind the nefarious acts, while assuring swift action to apprehend those found complicit in this matter.

“But beyond that, we also need a small forensic committee that will trail back these containers. We need to track them using their unique identification numbers or serial numbers,” he said.

He assured that the proposed forensic committee would ensure transparency and accountability in the investigation process.
