Former Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) appointed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dubik Mahama, has lashed out at critics accusing him of being part of a syndicate to loot the country.
According to him, the missing containers at the Ghana Port have nothing to do with him, and he is willing to cooperate with any investigative body to uncover the truth.
He further asserted that the forensic audit into the ongoing ECG missing container saga will clear him of any accusations.
Speaking in an interview with TV3, he stated:
“I am not part of any syndicate. People should stop pointing fingers at me. The forensic audit being conducted on this issue will be released soon, and I will be vindicated. The government ought to get its priorities right by properly investigating these missing containers.”
His comments follows a report by the Energy Minister’s technical committee, which disclosed that over 1,300 containers belonging to the ECG could not be accounted for.
The missing containers sparked worries about potential corruption, smuggling, or poor supply chain management at ECG.
Meanwhile, the energy minister, John Jinapor, has announced that his ministry has taken additional steps to uncover the whereabouts of the missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers.
In an interview with the media on Wednesday, April 2, the minister disclosed that his office has formally requested the Attorney General to conduct further investigations, with the possibility of initiating legal action against those responsible.
“We’ve written to the Attorney General to conduct further investigations with the possibility of taking the culprits in court,” he stated.
Additionally, Mr Jinapor disclosed that the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) has been tasked with carrying out a forensic investigation to trace the missing containers and establish accountability.
To prevent further losses, the minister noted that he has personally written to the National Security Secretariat, seeking their assistance in securing the remaining containers to facilitate a proper reconciliation process.
“Some containers are still scattered. We need to secure them so that we can put them to good use while we pursue those that cannot be accounted for,” he added.
Some of the containers have already been discovered, and some people including Chinese and Ghanaians have been arrested.
