Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has initiated criminal investigations into the mysterious disappearance of 1,328 shipping containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) at the Tema Port.
The missing containers, which contained critical electrical equipment imported for national energy projects, were reported lost following a committee of enquiry’s findings.
Addressing the matter, Mr. Jinapor assured that the government would take swift action to uncover the circumstances surrounding the disappearance.
“This is a serious issue that cannot go unpunished. We are launching a full-scale investigation to identify those responsible and ensure accountability,” he stated.
