Samuel Dubik Mahama is a former Manager Director of ECG
Samuel Dubik Mahama, a former Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), has accused the committee investigating the disappearance of ECG containers at the Tema Port of treating him unfairly.
He condemned the committee for citing him in their report without prior consultation.
Mahama argued that he deserved the right to respond to the allegations leveled against him in the document before any conclusions were drawn.
“I am here primarily to ensure that I am not unfairly judged by the public regarding the issue of the supposedly missing containers. Though I will not speak directly to the claims in the report because I was not consulted by the committee in the first place, I want to declare my innocence in this matter. The committee has not treated me fairly by indicting me in portions of the report without contacting me for my explanation regarding some of the allegations,” he said on TV3’s Ghana Tonight on April 2, 2025.
However, he maintained that he would not immediately respond to the claims made in the document, as he had not been consulted.
Additionally, he urged the Minister of Energy to proceed cautiously in reaching a logical conclusion regarding the alleged missing containers at the Tema Port.
He insisted that the containers could not be missing, as every single one could be traced with due diligence.
“I do not subscribe to the claim that the containers are missing because every container that passes through the port has a unique number. A container can only be cleared after all requirements and documentation have been fulfilled.
“In the case of these ECG containers, there are three possibilities: they could have been misplaced at a terminal, lost at sea, or auctioned. A thorough investigation will lead us to their whereabouts,” he stated.
Mahama also expressed his willingness to cooperate and assist in efforts to locate the missing containers.
“I have not gone anywhere. I am willing and ready to help the minister conduct a forensic audit to locate the containers. They should take their time to reconcile the number of containers imported with those that were either auctioned or cleared,” he said.
