The recent disappearance of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) cables and containers has sparked national outrage, with calls for immediate government intervention as reported by Ghana Web.
Among those voicing their concerns is the Member of Parliament for Bimbilla, Dominic Ntiwul, who insists that authorities must act swiftly to bring those responsible to justice.
Investigations into the issue have revealed troubling inconsistencies. An external audit confirmed that only 1,134 of the 2,491 ECG containers that were meant to be cleared could be accounted for.
The situation has raised alarms about potential mismanagement or corruption within the system.
Energy and Green Transition Minister, John Abdulai Jinapor, assured the public that a full probe would be conducted following the submission of findings to his office.
He also disclosed that some of the supposedly missing containers around forty had been discovered at a warehouse in Kpone, owned by an Indian national.
The revelation has fueled demands for accountability, with Ntiwul stressing the need for firm action. He described the incident as a major security lapse and a financial scandal that could not be ignored.
“This is a serious scandal,” he said. “The people involved should be identified and punished; they are saboteurs of Ghana.”
The former Defence Minister further urged Parliament to approach the issue without political bias, warning against turning it into a partisan debate that could allow the real culprits to evade accountability.
The government faces increasing demands to take decisive action and restore public confidence in ECG’s operations.
