Dominic Ntiwul is the MP of the Bimbilla constituency
In the past few days, the country has been gripped by news of the missing cables and containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
Following a declaration by Prof. Innocent Senyo Acquah, Chairman of the investigative committee, an external audit revealed that only 1,134 of the reported 2,491 uncleared ECG containers were accounted for.
Amidst the controversy, the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, affirmed that investigations would commence once the findings were presented to him.
He also revealed that forty ECG containers, previously reported missing, had been located in a warehouse belonging to an Indian national in Kpone, in the Greater Accra Region.
This situation has sparked widespread outrage among citizens and key officials.
Adding to the growing concerns, several Members of Parliament (MPs), including the MP for the Bimbilla constituency, Dominic Ntiwul, expressed their frustrations during parliamentary proceedings.
Ntiwul urged the government to take immediate action against those responsible.
“This is a major security breach, and we shouldn’t take it lightly. This is a serious scandal. How much did we borrow from the IMF? Look at the amount of money involved in this matter. The government must make this a priority. The people involved should be identified and punished, they are saboteurs of Ghana,” he said.
The former Defence Minister also called on his colleagues to focus on justice rather than allowing political affiliations to overshadow the issue.
“Don’t let this turn into a political battle between NPP and NDC. We will not allow that to happen. Whenever there is a major scandal and people are being punished, it turns into an NPP vs. NDC debate, and the real culprits escape accountability,” he added.
