The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has made significant progress in the ongoing investigation into the case of the allegedly missing containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
Officials have now accounted for 2,637 containers—far surpassing the original estimates and reshaping the narrative around the missing inventory.
Back in March 2025, the Ministry had announced that about 1,300 ECG containers could not be traced, with only 40 located at the time.
During an appearance on the Citi Breakfast Show on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 monitored by this portal, Richmond Rockson, Head of Communications at the Ministry, clarified the conflicting numbers.
“The minister was receiving conflicting figures, so he ordered an investigation to determine the actual number of missing containers,” Rockson stated.
According to Rockson, the issue dates back to a transitional audit that flagged nearly 3,000 ECG containers as uncleared at the ports. Upon assuming office, the new Energy Minister was briefed that about 2,500 containers were still unaccounted for, prompting immediate action.
“The investigation revealed that, in total, 2,637 containers were involved. Out of this, 2,583 are now confirmed to be in the possession of port authorities,” he said.
He underscored the importance of the investigation in resolving inconsistencies and producing a clearer picture of ECG’s logistical records. Rockson noted that the findings offer a step forward in accountability and hinted that the work isn’t over yet.
Mr. Rockson added that if the investigation is allowed to continue, possibly more containers may be found.
