The Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, has insisted that the management of Tema Port and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) must be held accountable for the disappearance of ECG containers.
This follows revelations that over 1,300 ECG containers filled with essential equipment have gone missing at Tema Port.
During a tour of aluminum smelting facilities in Shai-Osudoku on Friday, March 28, 2025 authorities discovered several coils of stolen ECG cables, components of the missing containers, melted into blocks and further processed into aluminum rods for export.
Speaking in Parliament on Friday, March 28, 2025, Mahama Ayariga stressed the need for accountability.
“Mr. Speaker, this country must change. I’m happy that the Minister [of Energy and Green Transition] has promised to get to the root of this matter, and he has the full support of this House to hold all those involved accountable, from the leadership of ECG to the leadership of Tema Port.”
“Those who specifically stole the containers from the port should also be held accountable. We need to investigate the companies that have been exporting aluminum products over the years to determine where they have been sourcing their materials.”
