Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin
The Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, has accused officials of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and Customs officers of conspiring to sell cables at the port.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Friday, March 28, Afenyo-Markin questioned how such large shipments could go missing despite the bureaucratic processes at the port.
“How can containers that have arrived at the port suddenly go missing, given the strict bureaucracy in place? Mr. Speaker, it is true that when these containers arrive, there is some collusion with certain customs officials. They sell these containers of cables that ECG needs, even after the supplier has been paid,” he stated.
The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to holding all those involved in procurement breaches and the disappearance of over 1,300 shipping containers at the port accountable.
