The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has pledged to spearhead efforts to recover over 1,300 missing containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). The containers, which vanished from the Tema Port, contain vital equipment necessary for the company’s operations.
During a visit to two metal and aluminum smelting manufacturing companies in Shai Hills and a warehouse in Kpone, Hon. Jinapor emphasized the importance of accountability in safeguarding public assets. He commended the security agencies and the public for their swift response, which has led to the arrest of 14 people in connection with the theft case.
The Minister warned that the government will pursue, prosecute, and take necessary legal action against those responsible, including confiscating properties involved in the crimes. He urged the public to cooperate with law enforcement and investigative bodies, while cautioning against politicizing the issue.
Mr. Jinapor’s resolve signals a robust governmental approach to asset recovery and public accountability.
