The Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, has argued that the management of the Tema Port and the Electricity of Ghana (ECG) must be held liable for the missing containers belonging to the ECG.
This comes in the wake of revelations that over 1,300 ECG containers filled with essential equipment have gone missing at the Tema Port.
During a tour of aluminium smelting facilities in Shai-Osudoku on Friday, March 28, authorities discovered several coils of stolen ECG cables, which were components of the missing containers, melted into blocks and further processed into aluminium rods for export.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Friday, March 28, Mahama Ayariga insisted offenders must be dealt with.
“Mr. Speaker, this country must change. I’m happy that the minister [Energy and Green Transition] has promised to go to the root of this matter, and he has the full support of this House to hold all those who were involved in this exercise accountable, from the leadership of ECG to the leadership of the Tema Port.
“And those who specifically stole the containers out of the port should also be held accountable. The companies that, over the years, have been exporting aluminium products. We need to investigate them, where have they been sourcing their aluminium products. the Majority Leader asserted.
