Recently, a member of the Ghanaian parliament, John Jinapor, made a serious announcement. He said that some Chinese people who were arrested have admitted to buying cables illegally from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) since 2019.
Jinapor explained that these individuals will be held responsible for their actions. He also stated that he is writing to the Attorney General. He wants whoever was in charge at ECG during that time to be held responsible too. He questioned why the ECG management would buy 8 billion worth of cables when they were only supposed to buy 1.3 billion. He believes that if they had followed their original plan, this problem wouldn’t have happened.
He also clarified that claims of stolen containers when his party came into office are false. He said the arrested Chinese nationals have confessed that they started buying these cables back in 2019.
Jinapor warned that attempts to turn this issue into a political game won’t work. He said that whoever is responsible will be caught and held accountable. He also addressed those who might try to use social media to play political games, saying that the law applies to everyone, regardless of their political party. He promised that they will find and prosecute those involved, and he doesn’t want anyone to accuse them of “witch hunting.”
Joy News shared a video of this interview on their Instagram page on Friday, March 28, 2025. The video caused a lot of reactions from the public.
People are now wondering what will happen next. They are asking questions about how this could have happened and who will be held responsible. The situation is causing concern about corruption and illegal activities within the ECG.
People are also debating about the political implications of this case. Some are worried that it might be used for political purposes, while others are demanding that the law take its course regardless of political affiliations.
The public is waiting to see how the authorities will handle this situation and whether those responsible will be brought to justice. They want to know if this will lead to changes in how the ECG operates to prevent similar incidents in the future.
