Energy and Green Transition Minister John Jinapor has taken decisive action regarding the issue of over 2,500 uncleared containers procured by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), which have been left at the port, resulting in financial liabilities estimated at GH¢1.5 billion. On January 30, 2025, he inaugurated a five-member committee chaired by Prof. Innocent Senyo Akwasi to investigate the circumstances surrounding these uncleared containers and to assess ECG’s procurement practices.
The committee was tasked with completing its investigation within one month. Following the submission of the committee’s report, Minister Jinapor indicated that the Ministry would collaborate with other relevant agencies, including the Office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice, to ensure that any individuals found culpable would face legal action.
As of now, there is no publicly available information confirming that Minister Jinapor has formally requested the Attorney General and Minister for Justice to prosecute those implicated in the missing ECG containers case. However, his previous statements suggest a strong commitment to pursuing legal action against those responsible, pending the outcomes of the investigative committee’s findings.
