The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has stated that the government is taking multiple steps to track down and secure the missing Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers.

He mentioned the involvement of key institutions, including the Attorney General’s Office, to ensure a comprehensive probe and recovery process.

"We have written to the Attorney General to conduct further investigations, with the possibility of taking the matter to court. We've also engaged the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to carry out a proper forensic investigation to determine the whereabouts of the containers," he said in a video shared on X by TV3 on April 2, 2025.

The minister further noted that he has personally written to the National Security Secretariat to assist in securing the remaining containers to facilitate proper reconciliation.

"I have also personally written to the National Security Secretariat to help us secure the remaining containers so that we can conduct a proper reconciliation," he stated.

"Since some containers are still stuck at the port, we need to secure them and put them to good use while we pursue those that cannot be accounted for," he added.

The issue of the missing containers came to light following findings from an investigative report on the state-owned Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

The report revealed that ECG’s claim of having 2,491 uncleared containers was inaccurate, as an audit showed that only 1,134 containers were actually at the port, leaving 1,347 unaccounted for.
