An investigative report on the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has uncovered that more than 1,300 containers, which were meant to be cleared at the Tema Port, are unaccounted for.
According to Prof. Innocent Senyo Acquah, chairman of the investigative committee, ECG initially claimed to have 2,491 uncleared containers filled with cables and other essential equipment. However, an independent audit at the port found only 1,134 containers, leaving 1,347 missing.

Minister Jinapor has assured swift action, stating, “The over 1,300 containers cannot vanish into thin air. We will ensure those responsible are held accountable.” He also pledged to separate ECG’s procurement unit within a week and introduce urgent reforms to prevent future irregularities.
The investigation, launched after the minister’s visit to the port in January 2025, estimates liabilities linked to the missing containers at GH₵1.5 billion.
