The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has said it has successfully traced all its missing containers.
The company said it retrieved more than 1,000 from the port.
Briefing the Energy Committee of Parliament on the company’s operations, the acting Managing Director of the company, Julius Kpekpena, gave this update.
“So far, we have moved over a thousand containers. I’m happy to say that we traced all of the containers and we started moving them from the port,” he noted.
An investigative report on the operations of the company had revealed that more than 1,300 containers, which were supposed to be cleared at the Tema Port, could not be accounted for.
The chairman of the committee that conducted the investigation, Prof Innocent Senyo Acquah, disclosed that while ECG claimed to have 2,491 uncleared containers that contained cables as well as other equipment belonging to ECG, an independent audit at the port found only 1,134, leaving 1,347 unaccounted for.
